Root Cause:
This error can be caused by using the correct SQL sa login password, but some unexpected outcome is caused by some unique and unusual combination of special characters.Workaround:
To resolve this issue, have your local IT or system administrator use their Microsoft SQL support resources to change the SQL sa password, using typical special characters and a strong password to meet your standards, but avoid repeating the same combinations of special characters you are currently using.
Try the installation again using the new password.
