I have tried to install DotNetNuke on my computer running Windows XP SP3, and I keep getting stuck at the database. I have followed a tutorial step-for-step in order to set this up, and I have IIS configured properly, SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Scripts is also running properly. I have set up the database and username, and also configured the user to be in charge of that database (followed the tutorial, really). However, when I go to run InstallWizard.aspx and connect to the database I always get this error message:

I have tried over and over to change the password both in the web.config and in the SQL Server Administration panel, but still no use. I've scoured Google in and out for this error and still nothing.. I am not familiar working on Windows Administration/IIS/SQL Server, so I may be missing something completely obvious but if anybody recognizes the error please do help.

Jake,

My guess is that the user needs to have the password reset, thus the failure.

Try to login to the database via SQL Server Management Studio using hte login information, and see what happens.
