HOW DO I ACCESS SQL SERVER TO USE NORTHWIND DB

I am attempting to access the SQL server in order to use the Northwind database.

Typing in via the command prompt the following:

osql –E -1 “EXEC sp_attach_db N’Northwind’,N’c:\SQL Server 2000 Sample Databases\northwind.mdf’”

The command prompt response:

[SQL Native Client] "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server when connecting to the SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connects."

Also, I loaded SQL Server Management Studio Express and not sure if I even need this. I click on the Icon but I’m not sure what I need to do to establish a logon and connect.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!!
