Can't Connect with EM

When tring to connect to a remote sql server through EM, I get the following
error message: "SQL Server does not exist or access denied[]ConnectionO
pen"
How can I resolve this? Any help is appriciated.
New SQL Server DBAI believe this would be because the account you are using to access the
Remote SQL Server is not valid, or you do not have the correct password.
Register the server in EM with a valid account and password. A local
administrator account on the Remote SQL Server server has access to SQL
Server. If you are added to the Local Administrators Group, then register
the server in EM using Windows Authentication...Ibelieve this will get you
going.

This message means that for some reason you cannot reach SQL Server. (Thus
not as NetByTelDBA suggested that your account is not valid.) There are
a number of possible reasons for this. The SQL Server could be down. The
server name you are trying to use does not resolve. You have no connection
to that network. Or you have no permission to that network.
