HOWTO: Edit Users
One you'll need to verify that the user you created has the ability to log on. Check the properties inside Sql Server Management Studio. To do this, connect to the database in SSMS. Then find the Security folder. Expand it, and expand the Logins folder. Find the login you are trying to use, right click and choose properties.
