It usually happens when departments shift, systems are reorganized, or due to naming updates. But if the user\u2019s default database gets renamed without updating the login configuration, it can cause access issues. The SQL server will fail to connect, resulting in SQL Error 4064: \u201cCannot Open User Default Database. Login Failed\u201d. Before we begin with the solution, we must identify the cause of the error 4064. Here is a blog that will guide you through the possible solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/4064.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SQL Error 4064<\/strong> occurs when a user is unable to log in to Microsoft SQL Server because their default database is inaccessible.

If the database is set as the default, it will not open.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the set default database is detached for tasks like backup or migration, the SQL server won\u2019t connect.
