Connecting to a named instance

    I just installed a new instance of SQLServer on my development machine. I see the new instance running in the services as MSSQL$NewInstance, but when I try to connect the error message returned says SqlServer does not exist or access denied.

     

    I use the following as the server name:

    MyMachineName\MSSQL$NewInstance, and I use the SA account

    Can anyone guide me on what to try next?

    I have found the answer - the server name is not MyMachineName\MSSQL$NewInstance its MyMachineName\NewInstance
