I made an exception for port 4344 in the firewall.

I've been google and learned so far that Error 18456, severity 14, state 5
means invalid user. but I think there cannot be anything wrong with the
user. I've just created a new user here and the same problem occur with that
user to. I typed the username and password correctly.

Make sure you connect to the expected database. Make sure the user exists in
the database. Make sure the user isn't orphaned, by matching the SID for the
user to the SID of the login it is supposed to use (look in
syts.server_principals and sys.database_principals).

MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS

You need to read the second url (in an earlier post) that I gave you **very
**very **very carefully.

The port could be "moving" on you.


Here it is again.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc646023.aspx#BKMK_dynamic_ports

The short advice is
"Try adding the ~~program as a firewall exception, not the port".


Please post back your results.

I turned off the firewall and it didn't have any effect, still the same
problem

But have some news to report:
When I try to login to sql management studio using the user I just created I
get this error:
Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the
pipe

I've hit issues like these 2 or 3 times in the past years.

Each and everytime, when I've went through the URL's I gave you (esp the
first one), I found the little thing that I missed.

http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2009/05/21/sql-server-fix-error-provider-named-pipes-provider-error-40-could-not-open-a-connection-to-sql-server-microsoft-sql-server-error/

I don't know what is happening. But my advice is to start at the top of his
list, and go down one by one. Dont' assume any step.


~Then if you're still getting bombed, send the details.


I'm not trying to be a butt, just saying........his list is pretty
comprehensive, and my second url gets past the one missing item on dynamic
ports.
