support Windows Authentication, you need to create a user that
uses SQL Server Authentication. Do the following:

- In the Server Properties dialog box, in the left pane, select Security.
- Below Server authentication, select SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode and then click OK.
- In the left pane, expand the Security section.
- Right-click on Logins and then select New Login.
-
In the
Login - New dialog box:
- In the Login name field, enter the login name.
- Select SQL Server authentication.
- In the Password field, enter the password and confirm it in the Confirm password field.
- Clear Enforce password policy and Enforce password expiration.
- In the left pane, select Server Roles.
- Below Server roles, select public and sysadmin.
- Click OK.
- Close SQL Server Management Studio.
- Launch SQL Server Configuration Manager.
- In the left pane, select SQL Server Services.
- In the middle pane, right-click SQL Server an then select Restart.
- To verify that the user can connect to SQL Server, launch SQL Server Management Studio.
-
In the
Connect to Server dialog box:
- In the Server name field, change the server name to localhost.1433 or [your server name].[port number].
- From the Authentication drop-down list, select SQL Server Authentication.
- Enter the User name and Password created in the previous steps and then click Connect.
