cant login using 'sa' in MSDE

  • Everytime I do, (using SQL Query Analyzer), I get a message like this

     Login failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. 

    I already modified the password using EM. Still no luck. Please help.

  • SQL Server has to be configured with 'windows and SQL Server' authentication. You can do it from EM --> Propereties --> security tab.

  • I have the same problem but I've tried by creating a new account with owner rights to all databases and I still get the following error when connecting with query analyzer

    Unable to connec to server SERVERNAME

    Server: Msg 17, Level 16, State1

    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied
