  I create default instance on SQL Server 2012 Standard.

  When I set it up, I changed instance id from 'mssqlserver', which is a default value, to 'new_instance_id'.

  For some reason I want to connect to the instance with computername\ new_instance_id

  Can I do it?

  Go to services and checked the correct instance name. and try that instance name to connect to instance.

  OR

  Just try server name to connect to instance (In case of default instance)

  OR

  Try servername\New instance name (in case of you have named instance)
