    The error Login failed for user 'sa' means that connection to server was established, but server refused it under certain circumstances, such as:

    • Wrong password
    • Sql server uses only Windows Authentication (needs server restart)
    • In your Connection String you ask to connect to specified DB, which is not exists
    • sa login is Disabled or Denied to access sql engine
