My SQL was working properly but today when i wanted to run it this error shows:
A network-related or instance-specific error ocurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL server is configured to allow remote connections(provider: SQL Network Interface, error:26-Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)

please help me, what should i do ?

Have you allowed remote connections?
