Are all of the SQL related services currently running (check by running services.msc)? What is the name of your SQL instance and how are you trying to connect? Please provide a connection string if you have it.

Hello,
You probably need to set SQL Server to allow "remote" connections. If it useless you can try this app http://www.mssqlserver.repair/ It restores the contents of SQL databases.
I hope this will help you,
Alec
