Hi,

I am using SQL Server 2005 for quiet sometime but recently I have getting an error that I am not able to fix. I receive timeout errors in my applications that try to connect with the server.

Upon checking the logs of SQL Server I found following entries repeatedly:

Login failed for user 'sa'. [CLIENT: 192.168.216.8]
Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 10

I have tried installing service pack 3 but that doesn't help either. Please help

regards,

MJ

go into Studio Management
Right click on your workspace and choose properties
Go to Security - switch this to SQL Server and Windows Authentication

Go back to security, logins, go to properties on SA.. Change the password to whatever you want, and then go to security, go to statues then click Enable.

Restart the SQL service under Services.msc
Go to Top of Page
