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

I got a way to go around the problem.

• Open one instance and login using the windows authentication
• allow sql and windows auth both by right cliking on the db server.
• Open second instance and login using sql authentication.

bingo the sql authenticated instance open .. :)

Actually in this way we cheat the sql authenticated instance as it tries to find an already running instance.. worked fr me.. good luck

Answer 2

I have not used the script style, but login through GUI I encountered the same error code. I had entered wrong user name and this is why I was getting the Sql Server, Error: 233.

In order to resolve this, you should input the following information:

Server Name: MachineName\SQLEXPRESS
Authentication: SqlServer Authentication
User Name: Assigned user-name or simply sa
Password: xyzpqr
