I am using Xp embedded target designer

Recently I renamed Administrator user password,
From this moment on I am failing to run target desiner
I recive the following message = "cannot connet to component data base, pls
check your data base connection"
I installed the SQL server from XP embedded CD
changing the paswword back did not solved the problem :)

any suggestion apart from re-installing the surroundings ?

thanks

First, you have to verify that the MSDE was set to use Windows Authentication.
By default, the value of the LoginMode Windows registry subkey is set to 1 for Windows Authentication. It is 2 for Mixed Mode
authentication. The location of the LoginMode subkey depends on whether you installed MSDE as the default MSDE instance or as a
named instance:
- If you installed MSDE as the default instance, the LoginMode subkey is located in the following registry subkey:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MSSqlserver\MSSqlServer\LoginMode
- If you installed MSDE as a named instance, the LoginMode subkey is located in the following registry subkey:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\%Instance Name%\MSSQLServer\LoginMode

Also, make sure to run the SQLServer service and SQL Server Agent under a Microsoft Windows NT account, not a Local System account.

You can enable auditing for successful and failed logins if you use Windows Authentication. That will help you to see why and where
it is failing.
