• Hi Johan,

    Yes, But, both the sa and my test account are enabled and I can connect to both from another server.

    Here is the SQL error log details:

    Login failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Password did not match that for the login provided. [CLIENT: <local machine>]

    Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 8.

    This is a very strange issue. At first I thought it could be privileges on my windows account, after confirming that I am an admin it was clear that wasn't the issue.

    I can't find anything on the net related to this specific issue.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks
