Bad login or password.

Are you sure you have the password correct for "sa"? Do you have the caps lock on? Did you accidentally delete the "sa" login? Are you trying to connect as "sa" when you shouldn't be? You aren't providing a lot of information about what you're using to connect...is it an app, a service, a query tool? More detail, please.

when you was installed MS-SQL, have u selected mixed mode authentication or not ?..you must be select mixed mode authentication for your solution

i got it

after changing to mixed mode

i started restarting ut it didn't do it since i didn't haave the admin rights to do it

solved
