You are getting this message because some one is trying to login as SA but he is using wrong password, this error can indicate that some one is trying to get into your database as SA or some one that have the permissions is trying to connect to the database but doesn't know the password.

See [url]http://www.dbsnaps.com/articles/sql-server-login-audit/ [/url] for detailed information about login audit.
