  • Have you enabled Mixed Mode Authentication (SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode) in Security?

  • Please don't crosspost. It wastes peoples time and fragments replies.

    "Have you enabled Mixed Mode Authentication (SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode) in Security?"

  • Hi mate.....I am new in this area but I have been studying this from past 6 months. However, I'll try my best to help u out from this situation. U can try this

    1 . A4TECH-PC is u r computer/ Host name

    2 . If u have installed two instance then

    a) Default instance

    ex: in my computer Server name is " (local) " -try this with brackets

    b) named instance

    It would be u r computer name and the named instance

    A4Tech-PC\A4tech

    Note: Its compulsory to have 1 default instance when u install sql server

    3 . U can also give it a try to change properties

    SQL SErver 2008 > Configuration tool> SQL Server Configuration Manager > Sql Server service > Select u r instance and right click. try to change to win authentication mode.

    I just tried my best to give u solution............I hope it helps

    kind regards
