Cannot create SQL Server Express Login - Login Failed for User

Question

I have created a new login for SQL Server Express as follows:

USE [master]
GO
CREATE LOGIN [Test] WITH PASSWORD=N'SF#$%GD%^J675JFS4fds' 
    MUST_CHANGE, 
    DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master], 
    CHECK_EXPIRATION=ON, 
    CHECK_POLICY=ON
GO

ALTER SERVER ROLE [sysadmin] ADD MEMBER [Test]
GO

USE [master]
GO

CREATE USER [Test] FOR LOGIN [Test]
GO

USE [master]
GO

ALTER ROLE [db_securityadmin] ADD MEMBER [Test]
GO

When I try to connect via the Test login, I receive the error message that

Login failed for user 'Test'

Answer 1

I needed to configure the server for SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode.

1. Open SSMS.
2. Connect to the server via Windows Authentication.
3. Right click the server and choose Properties.
4. Change to "SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode"
