    if you are facing problem in login then

    Start the SQL Server in SIngle user mode by changing the parameters of the start up parameters wiht -m, check the image attached

    then try to access the sql server using sql server management studio

    Check Services.msc to confirm SQL Services are runing or not?

    Share the error message you are facing.

    I may be confused but it looks like you are trying to guess the password of the sa account. Which might not even be enabled.

    When logged into Windows as an administrator, try connecting to SQL Server using Windows Authentication.

    If that doesn't work, start SQL Server Management Studio using the Run as administrator option, and then try connecting to SQL Server using Windows Authentication.

    Hi there, open SQL server configuration manager. select sqlserver 20XX servicess. Make sure all are running. under log on as there will be accounts you can use those accounts to login. and you can create new users and use those accounts, if you are not sure about any other accounts. thanks kumar
