i have have successfully installed SQL server Management studio. During installation the wizard does not ask for any login name and password but it installs successfully. Now when i started working on it, it asks authentication I selected sql server authentication then it asks login and password but i dont know the login and password to connect to the server.
It shows the following error for both authentication mode .
Please help in resolving this error.
