  I have Installed Sql Server 2012 on windows Server 2012 and enabled mixed mode authentication on Installation. I have added few users during the Installation. Now I am unable to login with the username and password that I specified. When I login with Windows Credentials I see "sa" account created and it is the only one with password associated with it. All other usernames that I specified are default to windows credential and no way can I use username and password. What I am doing wrong. I am using the Developer version of SQL Server 2012(SQL Server 11.0.2100)

  Do any of the other windows accounts have sysadmin access? If so simply change the SA password.

  Also I would check your local computer keyboard and language vs the servers keyboard and language.

  E.g English British and English American the keys are in different locations eg Shift+2 in the UK is " in the US its @ (I think)

  So if your UK and server is US and you have " is it actually an @ etc etc

  Might be something that simple, has caught me out a few times.
