SQL SERVER – Fix : Error: 4064

SQL SERVER 2005 – Fix : Error: 4064 – Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user.

CAUSE:
The default database for the user is not accessible, this stops the user from logging in.

SOLUTION:
- Login Prompt->Connection Properties Tab->Connect to database field
- Change the database name to master.
- Once logged in, update the user's default database:

ALTER LOGIN [user] WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE = master
