login failed for user 'sa' because the account is currently locked out. the system administrator can unlock it

-

If the mixed mode authentication is enabled in SQL Server, you can log into SQL Server Management Studio with Windows Authentication, and then unlock any SQL Server user account easily.

Step 1: Open SQL Server Management Studio and select Windows Authentication to login.

Step 2: Go to Security -> Logins -> sa, and double click on sa account.

Step 3: After sa Login Properties dialog opens, select the General page, uncheck the box besides Enforce password policy, and click OK.

Step 4: Select the Status page, make sure the box besides Login is locked out is unchecked. Then the SA account can be unlocked and you can successfully connect to SQL Server with SA login.
