Solution 1

I think the default is;

localhost\sqlexpress

the administrator account should have default access to the SQL server if using windows authentication.

Solution 2

If you are connecting to your local sql server, you can either use your machine name or period "." (with out the quotes)

hello..
Is not necessary to connect to SQL Server databases inserting user id and password .. can be used windows authentication

VB

Dim connStr As String = "provider=sqloledb;data source=.\sqlexpress;database=dbname;integrated security=sspi"
Dim conn As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(connStr)
conn.Open()

if you have a user id and password by creating a user in sql server

Dim connStr As String = "provider=sqloledb;data source=.\sqlexpress;database=dbname;user id=user;password=pass"
