I’m baffled, and am stuck, and have been for 2 hours now.

Here is my connection string:

<add name="yafnet" connectionString="Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=Scirra;User Id=Gullanian;Password=12345;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

And I get:

Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'Gullanian'.

I’ve created the database ‘Scirra’. I’ve also attempted to add a login, but nothing seems to work. Logging into SQL management via Windows Authentication is the only way I can gain access to my DB’s.

Ideally I just want to create a user, and that user having full control of DB. So I can run scripts etc.

Here’s a few details:

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio                      10.50.1600.1
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC)                     6.1.7600.16385
Microsoft MSXML                     3.0 6.0 
Microsoft Internet Explorer                     8.0.7600.16385
Microsoft .NET Framework                        2.0.50727.4952
Operating System                        6.1.7600

Idk why it says v2 for asp.net, all my application pools are set to 4.0.

    You need to enable SQL Server authentication (will need a restart) or use Windows Authentication.
