MediaPortal Version: 1.1.0.0

MediaPortal Skin: default

Windows Version: Vista SP2

CPU Type: AMD Phenom II X4 955

HDD: 1 TB disk & 1 750 GB disk

Memory: 6 GB DDR3

Motherboard: Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P

Video Card: Nvidia GEForce 9600GT

TV Card: Avermedia AVERTV Dual Tuner Combo



I start the Install process.  I get up to the dialog box "Setup database connection".


I choose Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

Then I try entering user ID "sa" and password "MediaPortal"--and I get the error message


"Connection failed!

Login failed for user 'sa'."


I have tried my user name on this pc (which is "Administrator"); I have tried a different password; I have tried many combinations.  But nothing works.


I also tried choosing MYSQL 5.  with the default password of "MediaPortal".

Then I get the error message


"Connection failed!

Access denied for user 'root' @ 'user-PC' (using password: YES)"


What is wrong??? Why can't I logon to either database?
