Now under server name click the drop down box and click ‘<Browse for more…>’ which will open a file explorer. Expand ‘Database Engine’ and find your instance from the list. Notice your instance is;
name of your computer / name of instance – this is very important, because where you would normally put (local) in the server files for the SQL IP you need to put the server name that you use to connect.
Select SQL Server Authentication and then enter your username and password. The username is always ‘sa’ and the password is the password you entered during the installation.
