After successfully created the data base i got this error when i tried
to log on to the forum or trying to log to the admin using the default
user (Administrator) and pw (letmein). How can I fix the problem.

are you using the SQL version you need set the SQL details within the server_connection.asp file in the admin folder.
the default password and usernmame are for the actual site login not SQL login.. they are from your host.

Looks like an SQL Server permission problem, make sure the user you are
connecting with is allowed to use that database. If it is setup
with windows authentication then use a different connection string
perhaps.

I recreated the database to start again. The SQL server uses Windows
and SQL authentication. Three users are checked as Public and dbo. The
current account which created the database has a space character "The
Messiah" is it legal?
In SQL_server_connection.asp:
strSQLServerName = "" 'Holds the name of the SQL Server
strSQLDBUserName = "" 'Holds the user name (for SQL Server
strSQLDBPassword = "" 'Holds the password (for SQL Server
strSQLDBName = "MyForum" 'Holds name of a database on the server
If I put a servername it didn't create the tables, same if I put username.
Now when i goto the http://Myserver/forum got this err
