connecting to MSDE

I installed MSDE 200 on my machine running XP home
edition.
I cant connect to the db using the SQL mode, but i can
connect using the in windows modes. It returns and odbc
error stae 28000 , i dont know how to correct this.
If set up and odbc connection and try to test this, it
returns the following errore
Attempting connection
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login
failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Not associated with a
trusted SQL Server connection.It looks like your MSDE instance is configured for Windows
Authentication only. The following article explains how to
change the authentication mode for MSDE during installation
as well as after installation:
