Error 1068 Can't start SQLSERVERAGENT and MSSQLSERVER

I was rebuilding my index and my system admin rebooted the system without
shutting down the database first. After the reboot the SQLSERVERAGENT and
MSSQLSERVER services won't start and I received ERROR 1068:The dependency
service or group failed to start error while trying to start the two services.
In the Enterprise Manger screen I saw:
Connection failed, check SQL Server Registration Properties
I am not sure how to fix this problem. Can I rebuild my SQL Server
registery, and if so, how? Please advise. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Could you please open the SQL server errorlog in program files\microsoft sql
server\log folder and investigate more on this error.
Thanks
