Hi,

I want to change the login for a user 'abc' to the SQL Server authentication.
I used the following code:

ALTER LOGIN abc ENABLE
go

ALTER LOGIN abc WITH PASSWORD = 'xyz'
go

I got an error:

Msg 15080, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot use parameter PASSWORD for a Windows login.

I need to change it to SQL Server authentication mode.
How can I do that?
