Are you having this problem on the computer where Crystal is installed or on a computer where an application is running your report?  What type of a connection are you trying to set up?  ODBC? SQL Server Native?  Is the SQL Server client software installed on the computer where you're working?  If you're using ODBC, is the ODBC connection set up correctly?

You'll have to find out the user name and password for this version of SQL Server - you cannot connect without it.  And it may be that someone changed the password for the sa user ID after it was installed - which is what should be done for security reasons.  If you're using odbc, you can set up the connection to include the user ID and password and at that point Crystal shouldn't ask you for it.
