Major Login Problem

  • Hi Guys,

    I have a major problem with SQL 2005. I can login remotely with non-trusted non-domain account.

    However I cannot do this locally? as in on the server where SQL 2005 is installed with the same login??

    The error I get is State 8 -> "Password Mismatch", although I know for sure I am using the correct login and password.

    Pulling my hair out with this one, any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Regards,

    Gary

  • When you say you are unable to login locally, do you mean via a sql connection (such as SSMS) or RDP to the Windows server?

    Do you have Allow Logons - Local and Remote configured in the Surface Area Configuration - Connections?

    The MSDN SQL Protocols Blog has some excellent information on the Error States --> http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2006/02/21/536201.aspx

    Do you mean you're trying to connect to the Windows server with a non-domain (non Windows) account? If so, you can't do that. A SQL Server login can only connect to a SQL Server instance.
