I\'m creating new login in SQL Server 2008 with following sql script:
CREATE LOGIN [xyz] WITH PASSWORD=\'xyz\',
DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master], DEFAULT_LA
I had a similar issue: 1. log in as the master user or windows authenticated user. 2. right click on the database --> properties --> security --> 3. change Windows Authentication mode to "SQL server and windows authentication mode" by clicking on the radio button. (if it is not) 4. restart the server
