Question

Answer 1

Login with windows authentication mode and fist of all make sure that the sa authentication is enabled in the server, I am using SQL Server Management Studio, so I will show you how to do this there.

Right click on the server and click on Properties.

Now go to the Security section and select the option SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode

Once that is done, click OK. And then enable the sa login.

Go to your server, click on Security and then Logins, right click on sa and then click on Properties.

Now go tot Status and then select Enabled under Login. Then, click OK.

Now we can restart the SQLExpress, or the SQL you are using. Go to Services and Select the SQL Server and then click on Restart. Now open the SQL Server Management Studio and you should be able to login as sa user.
