teach you how to determine what user has administrative rights on the server as well as walk you Step-By-Step how to configure SQL Server to allow other users to login as Administrators to SQL Server. The generic message http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20923015/microsoft-sql-server-error-18456 “Login Failed for User (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456)” means you entered invalid credentials when logging into SQL Server. Video is short but has additional tips and tricks so watch the video to get the FULL STORY! In the below screen shot, I am logging into Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio with a user that does not have administrative permissions to connect to the server. You need to figure out what user does have rights to http://itproguru.com/expert/2014/09/how-to-fix-login-failed-for-user-microsoft-sql-server-error-18456-step-by-step-add-sql-administrator-to-sql-management-studio/ SQL server. Usually this is the user that you logged in with when you installed SQL Server or the user that is the default administrator on the computer. To get a list of users on the machine (Assuming Windows Server 2012 or above) Step-By-Step Launch Server Manager – Start – Click Server Manager In the upper right corner, click Tools, then Computer Management Expand Local Users and Groups (Under Computer Management-System Tools) then click Users Notice under Description… There is a Built-in account for administering… This is very likely an account that has access to SQL server. Try logging onto windows with that account that is Built-in account for administering then we can grant rights to the user you want to use to login to SQL Server. Now that you are logged into Windows with an account that has access to connect to SQL Server, Let’s go in and grant rights to the user that you want to be able to use to access SQL Server. Step-By-Step Launch SQL Server Management Studio again and you should be able to Connect Expand your ServerName, then Expand Security, then Logins. Click Logins Right-Click Logins Select New Login… Click the Search Button Type in the Windows User Name you would like to add as an SQL Administrator

I did some research online and found out that this usually means that your connection request was successfully received by the server name you specified [so why didn't it work], but the server is not able to grant you access for a number of reasons and throws error: 18456. Video shows you the steps🙂 Below is a list of reasons and some brief explanation what to do: SQL Authentication not enabled: If you use SQL Login for the first time on SQL Server instance than very often error 18456 occurs because Windows Authentication (only) is set in Server properties (security section). To Access Server Properties, Open SQL Server Management Studio, go to Object Explorer pane (use view if you can't see it). Use the connect button to connect to database engine for your server. Once connected you will see it in object explorer. Right click server and click properties. Server Properties window will appear.
