I cannot connect to the database anymore, I'm getting:

Cannot open user default database. Login failed.

I have deleted the database during a previous session and then tried to recreate it. But the recreate failed.

Now I am stuck with this error, what can I do?

Edit: I'm using Windows Authentication

Any ideas?

Fixed:

use the command:

sqlcmd -E -d master

then type:

ALTER LOGIN [Your Windows Login] WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE=master

GO

:)

You're almost certainly going to need to restore from your last backup and apply any logs.
