I made same changes to the administration of database and also restored gateway backup to one of my old backups.  
Now my gateway seems to not liking to connect to database.

```auto
Cannot create PoolableConnectionFactory (Login failed for user 'sa'. ClientConnectionId:9ff73e6a-aeb2-468d-88c0-ee01ffd9fc96)

```

Possible Checks done -
