login/security problems

This is a story:
I cannot signin to the new QA db with any existing id
other than ALEX. When I try I get this message "Cannot
open database requested in login ' QA '. Login fails.
Please contact system administrator."
And I can't create any new user ids - I get this
message "User does not have permission to perform this
action" though I'm using my ALEX id, and this message is
followed by a db error. The id gets created, but when I
try to signin with it I get this message "Logon failed
for user ... Please contact system administrator."
How should I fix this problem?Alexl
Perhaps a default database to which the user has been assigined does not
exist.
Can you login as SA and then create users?
