    Hi

    In SQL Server 2000, Windows Authentication does not affect SQL
    Authentication.
    Maybe the password you are using to access SQL Server is not what you though
    it was.

    Since it is SQL Server, Windows Authentication will work, so log in with the
    administrator account of the SQL Server machine as builtin\administrators
    group has access to SQL Server (unless you removed that NT group in SQL
    Server).
