Hi I created a new login SQL server authentication in SQL server 2008, however I am unable to login with that user.
Getting an error like ,
TITLE: Connect to Server
Cannot connect to (local).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Login failed for user 'sa'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456)
The error Login failed for user 'sa' means that connection to server was established, but server refused it under certain circumstances, such as:
Wrong password
Sql server uses only Windows Authentication (needs server restart)
In your Connection String you ask to connect to specified DB, which is not exists
sa login is Disabled or Denied to access sql engine
User Action
If you are trying to connect using SQL Server Authentication, verify
that SQL Server is configured in Mixed Authentication Mode.
If you are trying to connect using SQL Server Authentication, verify
that SQL Server login exists and that you have spelled it properly.
If you are trying to connect using Windows Authentication, verify
that you are properly logged into the correct domain.
If your error indicates state 1, contact your SQL Server
administrator.

I have created a database on our SQL Server for Eplan. When I try to login to SQL using Windows Authentication I receive an error that states:
Login Failed. Login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication.
When I use my SQL server login it returns:
Connection could not be established. Login failed for user xxx
So I've verified that I am using the correct login/password. TCP/IP is enabled and SQL Server uses SQL Server and Windows Authentication.
I am really at loss as to what to do next.
Thank you!

So I've been working with SQL Server 2017 Developement for a few hours now.
I set up that I can connect via SQL Server Authentication;
I enabled my SA and I created a new Login.
both were setup properly by standards (Rights to databases etc)
Now I want to use SQL Server Management Studio to login via SQL Server Authentication but I get this error
(it says sa now but its the same whether it is sa or my created login)

I have "Encrypt connection" & "Trust server certificate" enabled in my options
I have search google for a solution but the only solution to my error is that I need to enable "Trust server certificate" but it doesn't resolve my problem.
Thanks in advance
Please check the Server authentication mode, in the service configuration choose the SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode radio button and Restart SQL Services.
I am completely new to databases.. I am doing a small application which needs to connect to a SQL Server database.
My SQL Server is installed on the company server
I am trying to login to SQL Server from my local system
Steps I have tried so far:
Since I have admin credentials to the company server I have logged in and included myself (SQL Server authentication) under security -> logins
So now when I try to connect from my local computer it is giving me "Login failed for user (Microsoft SQL Server error 18456)".
Can any one please help me with this?
Goal: I want to connect to companies server from my local machine.
To clarify this in the start. I don't have much experience with SQL Server so every help will be appreciated.
I have a task to set up some program with a SQL Server Express database which is located on a remote server. The database is, as far as I know, configured and should be working. This is the information I have to connect to the database:
IP: xx.xxx.xxx.xxx
The administrator password is 'somepassword'
The SA password is 'anotherpassword'
I think this info is incomplete because there is no username. But what worries me is that I don't get feedback that my password or username are incorrect. Instead I get the error:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while
establishing a connection to SQL Server...
I'm using SQL Server Management Studio to connect to the database (SQL Server 2012 Express) and I added an exception in firewall for Management Studio.
And what is the difference between administrator and SA (system administrator) password?
The message you are receiving basically means "I can't connect to SQL Server". It can be due to a number of issues:
The SQL Server service is not running
The SQL Server instance is not configured to use TCP/IP to communicate
The database is using windows authentication and the user is not authorized or
The database is using mixed-mode authentication and the user/pass is incorrect
As for the usernames you are given, I would assume that the "administrator" username is local windows administrator of the machine SQL server is running on, and that the "sa" user is the default database administrator, that is installed when setting SQL Server to use mixed-mode authentication.
So, I would recommend to try connecting to the database using Mixed-mode authentication, with the username "sa" and the "anotherpassword" password.
I unknowingly deleted SA user from the SQL Server 2012. Now i cannot be able to connect to the sever. It shows an error :
Cannot open user database. Login failed. Login failed for the user 'username'.(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 4064)
Now i don't know what to do?
Help me please
Thanks
When ever get this error,we have to create a new user with server authentication to connect the data base
We can create login for data base under security tab-->create new login under it
If you have Windows administator permissions, you can restart SQL Server in single-user mode. Any administrator can then log in locally and fix things.
Give this a shot as a place to start:
Connect to SQL Server When System Administrators Are Locked Out (MSDN)
