Not sure what happened but I cannot login to SQL Server 2012. I use Windows Authentication to login so Ive never created a password. This program is and always has been installed on my laptop. I've never tried to connect to this database on another computer. Can someone please help with troubleshooting steps? The error message I am getting is listed below. Thanks in Advance.
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider:
Shared Memory Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
