Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connect

Hello:
I've just upgraded Windows 2000 server to Windows server 2003, and after
this I cannot get to the SQL server Enterprise manager, I'm getting error
"Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL
Server connection"
I've found many articles about it, but they are all about problems with ASP
or ASP.Net. I don't have a problem with ASP.Net, my Intranet application is
running OK.
I still can get in using SQL server connection if I change the registration
properties, but if I use Trusted connections I get this error. And I need to
use trusted connections.
I would appreciate any help very much.
Thank you,
Peter Afonin

If you enable auditing on both the server and SQL Server, do you see any
failed login attempts? If so, which account is being used?

Moments after I posted the last message, I found this link which may be of

|||Peter,
CAUSE
This error occurs because the SQL Server is configured to use "Windows only"
authentication.
RESOLUTION
On the SQL Server Security tab, configure SQL Server to use "SQL Server and
Windows" authentication.

I'm working on it, buy now I even cannot get in with my administrative (sa)
account. I don't know what's wrong.

|||Peter,
Do you get the same error when logging in as 'sa'? If so, that is telling
you that the server is not accepting standard SQL logins, no matter what the
settings seems to be.
Do you have a domain account with sysadmin rights that you can login with?
If so, try that one.
During the upgrade of your server, did you lose any local Windows accounts?
Domain accounts? Look at article:

|||OK. The (null) probably suggests the comment in my other post. (Unless
'sa' is returning a similar message.)
