  • Hi,

    i have created a new instance in with mixed mode authentication. while i am connecting to SSMS with new instance its getting error. the error is

    could not find a login matching the name provided

    error 18456 and state 5

  • Are you certain you have the username typed in correctly?

    Or if this is a windows login, is the login a member of any of the Active directory groups that has access to the server?

  • Did you add the login when you created the instance? If not you will probably need to log in as sa and grant the permissions that way.

  • state 5 is definitely invalid login.
