I had MSDE installed on my machine, but I had problems making it work. I installed the Visual Studio 2005Beta2, and it apparently installed MSDE 2005. I deinstalled MSDE 2000, then tried to make MSDE 2005 work. After lots of hair pulling I finally found the instance name, reset the authenitcation method, and reset the SA password. Then I found out all my sql tools don't work with it. No enterprise manager or query analyzer. So off MSCE 2005 came from my machine. I reinstalled MSCE 2000, but I cannot login. I am not sure if I don't have the proper instance name, or password for the sa account. I have not really found any good into on setting up the msce 2000 software. I think it found the old username/password info because whtn I started it, it did not ask me for any of that information.
How can I reload/set the admin password? I would like to get it going so I can start playing with visual studio 2005. I sure hope it knows how to play with MSDE 2000 properly.
Jr.CoderCleaning up really old threads; I assume you got this resolved one way or another long since?
