Enable SQL Server auditing for successfull and failed logins.
Right click on the server in Enterprise Manager, Properties, Security Tab,
Select audit for successfull & failed logins (All).
Restart SQL Server.
Review the NT Application Event log and/or SQL Server Errorlog.
or
Setup a machine to run profiler & dump the results to a table. Add the
security event under Security Audit for Login Failed.
Review your audit tables as needed.
