Your SQL databse doesn't recognize the Windows Authentication token you passed.

In short, your connection string is right, your SQL DB doesn't accept Windows Auth, specifically the user you're using to try and login.

Ok, i have change the auth mode to Forms and added user id and password i am now getting this error:
connection Error:Login failed for user 'sa'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
any idea?

There are users on your forms auth, and there are users at your DB level. You must provide credentials for a SQL Login with using SQLAuth to access your DB.

When you open MSSQL there's a "Security" folder on the server. You have to add the login there, and then add that user to the DB Instance under the "Users" area.
