Error Image

I was trying to connect RDP server from my Windows machine.

I am facing error that "The logon attempt failed"

I checked and found my Password is correct.

Earlier I connected rdp with "Administrator", now when I try to connect, the name is coming "LAPTOPNAME\Administrator" and I think this is causing the issue.

Please help me.

You are trying to connect with the user LAPTOPNAME\Administrator. This user does not exist on your remote instance.

To connect as the remote administrator you should use the username \Administrator. The \ indicates RDC should use the administrator account local to the remote instance. If this machine is part of a domain you might need to add the domain to front of the username DOMAIN\Administrator.
