error 1069

I have been running my SQL under Local System a/c. I
wanted to change it to run under my NT a/c. I went to
control panel, services and tried changing the account to
this account and gave my NT credentials. It wouldn't start
and I get logon failure error 1069.
Am I missing anything here?
thanks,
balaYou can change it in Enterprise manager (Properties of the Server).
What rights does the new account have on the domain? You need log on locally
rights.
Is it your personal account or an account specific for SQL Server only? It
is best to use a dedicated account as SQL will stop working if your password
expires.
Look at http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;283811

Using SQL Enterprise Manager in SQL Server 2000)
