Really new at this

I have MSDE running on my system and would like to make a new project or
import an mdb file.
When I attempt to make a new project, I enter the Administrator user name
and password and then after hitting next, I get the following error:
Connection failed:
SQLState:'28000'
SQL Server Error 18456
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Login failed for user
'Administrator'.
I'm using the Administrator user name and password that I use to login in to
this Win2000 box.
What do I need to do?
Thanks.
I just selected to connect from a secure connection and now I have the
project, but the New button is grayed out for tables, view, stored
procedures, etc.
What should I do?
Is there a book or something on line I can read to get me started?
Thanks.
