If you use Server Authentification use the name of your computer ,the user "sa" and the password that you set to sql server during the installation.

It is the name of the machine, or "
(local)" for the server on the machine you are using. If you installed a named instance (something you would have to do explicitly) then you will have to add/InstanceNameafter the machine name.

No, not "local". You need "(local)" with the brackets.

Are you trying to connect to a SQL Server running on a separate machine? If so you have to enable TCP/IP on the server. Use the SQL Server Configuration Manager

Depends. If it's installed on your local machine with Windows Authentication: Server = localhost - or if you're using Sql Server Express localhost\SqlExpress or if you named an instance during installation SqlExpress\TheNameYouChose (or just uninstall and do it again properly). If you installed it locally, but used mixed mode authentication: user name = sa password = whatever you set it to be. If you installed it on a networked machine: I can't help you here.
