Delete default database: login failed

Hello,
I deleted a database and am now getting the error: cannot open user default
database. login failed
The database is on my machine using Windows Authentication. How do I change
the default database, and what tools would I use to change it with?
Thanks in advance,
sck10
Use sp_defaultdb to change dafault db.
sp_defaulddb <user name>,<new default db name>
Verify the use also exist in new database.

|||To add to Amish 's response, you can override the default database at login
sp that you can execute sp_defaultdb. For example:
OSQL -d master -E -Q"EXEC sp_defaultd 'mylogin', 'master'"
Hope this helps.
