  • a) did you give your "login" access to any of the databases in your server?? b) is this a "remote" SQL SErver Express (on another machine) - if so, is "remote login" enabled (it's OFF by default) ??

If the userId really exist, might be disabled on the server. Password might have expired and probably several other reasons ...
