Summary:

SYMPTOMS

When attempting to log in to SQL Server with a valid login and

password, the user receives the following error message:

Msg 4002: Login Failed; Login Incorrect

CAUSE

If SQL Server was started in single-user mode, this message appears

when subsequent users attempt to log in.

On a case-sensitive server, this message appears if the case in the

user name does not match the actual case of the user name in the

server.

RESOLUTION

Check for the message "Server booted in single user mode" among the

initialization messages in the errorlog file. If this message is

present, restart the server without the /m parameter (/m represents

single-user mode).

Additional reference words: case single user
