I was getting this error on Installation Wizard:
The Auto option has been disabled as the DotNetNuke Application cannot connect to a valid SQL Server database. You can continue to use either of the other two Wizard options and configure the Database settings at the appropriate Wizard step. 

I reinstalled webmatrixbut now when I am trying to install DNN, I am getting this error---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
The specified password for user account 'sa' is not valid, or failed to connect to the database server.
---------------------------
OK

Your password you have used to connect to the database is wrong. By security issues you should never use the 'sa' database user to connect to your database. Create a new database user and assign it to your database with the dbo schema and assign it as dbowner.

Make sure you have correct seting up the protocolls for the SQL Server.

If you use the auto install feature of the install wizard you have setup the two connection strings in the web.config file.

Make sure you have also set read permissions to the IUser and access, read,, write and change permissions for your application pool user (mostly used the network service) for all physical files and subfolders in your DNN folder.

You either need a valid password for SA user or create a new database to install dnn again with it.

Or you can choose to use sql express and that won't require the sa password.
