Hi All,
Good day. I am just new in SQL 2012 r2 and we are trying to provision one SQL VM but we are getting an error a"Login failed for user. "Error 18456" when trying to login to the Database Engine for the 1st time via SQL Management Studio. We carefully follow the steps outline in the link below but no luck.

These are the logs"

Steps Taken:
Allow 1433 firewall, use login as servername\default instance name, servername\local admin
Did we miss any steps?
Any advise will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
