Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server : Login failed for user
- I have found this in the SQL Server rror log,
Login failed for user 'sw'. Reason: Password did not match that for the login provided. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
so I've opened a new topic for this.

t sounds like you're encountering a login issue with the SQL Server. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the "Login failed for user" error:
Check Credentials: Ensure that you are using the correct username and password. Double-check for any typos.
User Permissions: Verify that the user has the necessary permissions to access the database. You may need to check with your database administrator.
Connection String: Make sure your connection string is correctly formatted. If you're using a SQL Server instance, include the instance name in the connection string.
Authentication Mode: Confirm that your SQL Server is set to the correct authentication mode (SQL Server Authentication or Windows Authentication). If you're using SQL Server Authentication, ensure that mixed-mode authentication is enabled.
Firewall Settings: Ensure that there are no firewall rules blocking the connection to the SQL Server.
ODBC Driver Version: Sometimes, issues arise from using an incompatible driver version. Ensure you have the latest version of the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server installed.
