the problem is that the SQL service doesn't want to run, it gives an error
that should be easy to fix
go to services and double click SQL and look what account it's using.
then create account on your domain give it a GOOD passwordthen go back to the service and put the domainname\user for the username and type in your password.. and you should be good to go for starting SQL.
thank you very much dude, you really saved me, the problem was due to SQL service not running because it was set to run using a local account, off course after this account was deleted the service cannot run, as soon as i changed the service logon account to domain administrator the service start successfully and the connection was successful
ouuuf it was a terrible nightmare but also a lesson
thank you @dashrender and thank you guys

Now that you have that working, don't stop there!
Create a dedicated user account in AD for SQL. Then assign it local admin rights on the SQL server. The replace the domain admin credentials you currently have running SQL.
Reasons for doing this: If you leave the Domain Admin user in there for SQL, if SQL is compromised, the hacker will have Domain Admin level privileges to your entire domain.

thank you for your advice, but i no longer care about security since everything is fine lol
as Scott mentioned: why i should care about the business if the owner don't care
i fear if i change something now i may get an issue, so i will just keep everything as it is -

Before you upgraded to AD, the account was local, limiting liability only to that machine. Now if SQL is hacked, they potentially have full access to your entire network.
Making my suggested change will at least get you mostly back to the previous state, but not fully.

ok i do what you told me but i have to restart the SQL service so that the new logon account will take effect, when the HR Dept finish working with the payroll application then i can restart it

only the one who was working on the payroll software was having a connection error, i told him that we have a problem in the server, so he stop working on it until this morning when things come back to life
fortunately the issue occur at about 6 PM and we finish the shift at 7 PM therefor the employee didn't complain because he was about to finish his shift -
there is a big time diffidence btw qatar and US, when i post my problem it was early morning in US but it was the end of the day in Qatar
