Possible causes for "login failed for user 'xyz' "

What are some of the possible causes for the following error :
Login failed for user 'xyz' assuming we have mixed mode of authentication on
SQL 2K.
I can think of just an incorrect password entered. Are there any more
reasons ?I'd think there will be some more detail in the error message. Is that all,
you are getting?

logins and wanted to know what may some reason be for that error message
seen in text data column

Connectivity. If it takes a while for the error to appear, consider your
connectivity options.
