login failed Error 18456 Help needed!

I'm a developer who's used mainly SQL Server 2000. I've installed 2005 at
work and use the client tools with no problem.
I have Vista at home, new machine. I installed Sql 2005. I've tried both
system login and Windows Authen. I am the only user and hence an admin on
this box.
I open 2005 Mgmt Studio. I want to attach databases. But I can't even get my
Database engine to connect, despite that fact my Server shows up in
Registered Servers.
When I choose Connect, I then browse for Server(only one), I use Windows
Auth and get error Login failed for user ....error 18456.
Something this simple, shouldn't be so difficult.
While I've connected at work with no problem, I guess that's the issue,
there was no problem and since I'm not a newbie, I'm kinda pissed off. Can
anyone help me?
Since I'm at home for the next 3 days, and since I'm registered using my
work email address, I'd appreciate a direct email to me at
matthewmark@.verizon.net.
Thanks,
Matthew Mark
What's the error state and error description in the SQL Server log
files? They should give you a more detailed reason why you can't
logon.

|||I'm not sure I understand, but I think your problem is that you are relying
on your membership in the local administrators group for permission to
connect. Vista doesn't give you that permission automatically. So try the
"Run as Administrator" option when you start Management Studio. After you
connect, add your own login as to the SQL Server. Then in the future you
won't have to run as administrator.

Login failed - Error Number: 18456 - Severity: 14 - State: 1

Hi.
After re-installing Windows Vista on my PC, I can no longer log on to my
local SQL Server 2005 (SP2) (even though my account name is the same for
Vista). I can not even connect with a new query, so I can not update user
information or anything like that. It gives me this error:
Login failed for user 'Thomas-PC\Thomas'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

I did try to uninstall the SQL Server 2005 and re-install it again but
without any difference.
I can connect to servers on other servers, but as I mentioned not my local
SQL server.
Thanks for your advise/help,
Thomas
Can you connect if you launch SSMS with "run as Administrator"? If so, add
your Windows login to the sysadmin role so that you don't need to run with
elevated privileges , except when managing services.
Hope this helps.

|||Dan - You' da man !!! Thanks a lot. Yes, I could launch SSMS as

I really appreciate your help and thank you once again.

add logins to the sysadmin role so you don't need to do it manually.

my SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition instance on Vista Business and failing
due to authentication issues, even though I am an administrator on my
workstation.

Login failed - Error Number: 18456 - Severity: 14 - State: 1

Hi.
After re-installing Windows Vista on my PC, I can no longer log on to my
local SQL Server 2005 (SP2) (even though my account name is the same for
Vista). I can not even connect with a new query, so I can not update user
information or anything like that. It gives me this error:
Login failed for user 'Thomas-PC\Thomas'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

Unfortunately the link provided above for more help takes me to a page that
does not exist.
I did try to uninstall the SQL Server 2005 and re-install it again but
without any difference.
I can connect to servers on other servers, but as I mentioned not my local
SQL server.
Thanks for your advise/help,
ThomasCan you connect if you launch SSMS with "run as Administrator"? If so, add
your Windows login to the sysadmin role so that you don't need to run with
elevated privileges , except when managing services.
Hope this helps.

asministrator, and added my windows login and not everything's just fine.
I really appreciate your help and thank you once again.
