I've installed a SQL2005 with named instance: SERVER\SQL2005
Because some software does'nt recognize this instance, i'd like to rename it
to default instance.

Is it possibile ?
How ?

You'll have to uninstall the named instance and the run the install
again. In the new install you can install it as a default instance.
