SQL Server 2008 Error 233

Question

I\'m creating new login in SQL Server 2008 with following sql script:

CREATE LOGIN [xyz] WITH PASSWORD=\'xyz\',
            DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master], DEFAULT_LA         


        

Answer 1

After following the examples here and still not getting in, I found that my sa login was disabled. The following got me in:

Logged back in under windows authentication.  
Expanded Security Tab 
Expanded Logins Tab 
Right-clicked sa and selected Properties
Went to the Status Tab
Under Login: Clicked 'Enabled' radio
Restarted Server and logged in as sa.
This assumes you have set sa password already using
ALTER LOGIN sa WITH PASSWORD = '' ;
