Typically, to troubleshoot this, you go to SQL Server Configuration Manager (SSCM) and:

  1. ensure Shared Memory protocol is enabled
  2. ensure Named Pipes protocol is enabled
  3. ensure TCP/IP is enabled, and is ahead of the Named Pipes in the settings

Maybe it can help: Could not open a connection to SQL Server

Note : If this is a new instance of SQL Server be sure SQL Server and Windows Authentication is enabled

1: Right Click the Server in SSMS and pull up server properties 2. Go to Security--> Select 'SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode' 3. Restart the Server and Login with the creditials
