can someone please help me with visual web developer express edition?

I know this is a C# group, but I'm getting a little desperate. It's been
several weeks since I posted my question to the WD forums and no one has
responded.

All I want to know is how to get started with this program. When I
create a personal website with the Starter Kit and then try to run it
(CTRL + F5), it asks for a name and password, which I don't know because
I haven't even set it up yet -- despite the fact that the instructions
say to run it in this way.

Here is the original question I had:

-----------

Hi all. I just installed the beta of VS WD and I have a question that
hopefully you guys can answer. I used the Starter Kit, and it says the
first thing to do is this:

Creating an Administrative User
The first step you must take is to create an administrative user. The
administrative user has permission to upload photos and create albums.

To create an administrative user

Run the site at least once before proceeding. This ensures the
initialization of the Membership and Roles databases.
In the Website menu, click ASP.NET Configuration.
Click the Security tab.
Click Create user.
In the Create User box, type a user name, password, and e-mail address
for the administrator user. You must also provide a security question
and answer that is used to help you recover your password, if necessary.
In the Roles box, select both the Administrators and Friends check boxes
to make the user into an administrator and a member of the Friends role.
Click Create User.
Close the Web Site Administration Tool window.
But after I click on the Security tab, I get this message and I can't
proceed:

There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by
an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It
can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click
the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new
data store.

The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Unable to
connect to SQL Server database.
What do I do from here? I can't access the website without doing this, I
presume, because it asks me to log in when I try to run it with F5.
-------------

If anyone can help me so I can start using WD, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
John
