Create user error!

I have just managed to have JDBC working, but I am getting an error that the user does not exist. I have read in the MSDN help that I need to set the sqlExpress to accept SQL server authentication and not windows authentication. So when I am trying to create a new User using Microsoft SQL server management studio express I get the following error.

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
------------------------------

Create failed for Login 'adam'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)

    You need to have WIndows 2003 to get the feature of advanced password policies, guess you don’t have this, right

    When creating a new user, on the General properties page, check to make sure that the "User must change password at next login" checkbox is NOT checked, and that will go away.
