Error with Database Server Tutorial / Bad login User

Question

Hello World!

I'm following the database servers tutorial ESRI provides for 10.1 located here:  http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Exercise_2_Load_data_into_the_geodatabase_and_update_statistics/018t0000001w000000/.

I get to Exercise 2 and try to create a feature dataset and I get this message:  "Bad Login User. Success".  And then I can't do anything with the new geodatabase created in Exercise 1.  I've searched and searched and tried a whole bunch of different things but can't find the answer.

Any help would be appreciated.  Also, I don't have a ArcGIS Server authorization number so I can't get the ESRI Customer Care Portal file needed to enter in the "Arc_SDE" list in the registry as described here:  http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/69245-Can-t-create-new-geodatabase-on-database-server?highlight=bad+login+user.

Having Fun!!

Interesting.  Where might I find said "ArcSDE for Microsoft SQL Server Express Wizard"?  I downloaded SQL Server Express myself through Microsoft so I never used any wizard from ESRI.

Should be on your desktop install disc....
