Hello Nukers
Installing dotnetnuke on my computer using microsoft web platform installer, its asking me for superuser password during the msqlexpress database install but it's giving me this mesage after mistakingly deleting the default password (the specified password for user account 'sa' is not valid, or failed to connect to the database server)

This made it impossible for dotnetnuke to install

The only answer I can see in this situation is to find out what your sql login is?  Did you setup with an sa account?  Maybe try installing the sql management studio so you can try to login to the sql server so you can get the right login data for DNN?

Don't use the sa account. Log in to SQL Server, create an account specifically for the DNN database and use those credentials.
