Just downloaded SQL Server but fails to connect
Hi i will like to get some help connecting to SQL. I try to connect and get the message: A connection was sucssesfully established but then an error occurred during the login process.

- Hello,
you haven't provided more details but assuming you downloaded SQL 2022 and you are trying to connect from a remote computer using SQL Server Management Studio 20 , I can refer you to few links that will help to troubleshoot. note that SSMS 20 has a new dialog box to connect to servers and you might have to select "Trust Server Certificate"
