Can I use SQL Authentication to log into SQL Server 2008 that was set up with Windows authentication? -
i have sql server on local machine ever set windows authentication. @ login screen, show hostname\sqlserver , i'd log in using windows authentication.
i've been moved new machine different hostname, , database has been moved. can't log-in since windows username different. how can database? want login using "sa" account on. sql server 2008
you need alter registry key hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\microsoft sql server\mssql10.mssqlserver\mssqlserver mssql10.mssqlserver name of current instance.
it should "1" now, windows. change "2", mixed.
i believe initial sa password @ point blank. however, possible sa password set already, may not able login using sa after altering registry.

good luck.
