        /// </summary>
        public InspectionEntities() : base("name=InspectionEntities", "InspectionEntities")
        {
            OnContextCreated();
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Initialize a new InspectionEntities object.
        /// </summary>
        public InspectionEntities(string connectionString) : base(connectionString, "InspectionEntities")
        {
            OnContextCreated();
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Initialize a new InspectionEntities object.
        /// </summary>
        public InspectionEntities(EntityConnection connection) : base(connection, "InspectionEntities")
        {
            OnContextCreated();
        }

        #endregion

and my connection string is,

<add name="InspectionEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/Inspection.csdl|res://*/Inspection.ssdl|res://*/Inspection.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=&quot;Data Source=*****\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Inspection;User ID=sa;Password=****;MultipleActiveResultSets=True&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />

InspectionEntities dbContext = new InspectionEntities("name=InspectionEntities"); ????

You don't have to pass the connection string to your context constructor. Instead change it in the web.config file.

The error you are receiving points that the SQL server name or instance name is specified incorrectly or there is a firewall blocking the connection. If it would be username/password issue you would get an error saying that login is not possible.
