Failed connecting to service EXEC 8.6

[Jamaz17]

Hey everyone, I'm new to this stuff and I'm having a bit of a problem. I'm running EXEC 8.6 on a W2K network. Everything USED to work fine, but I changed the admin password and since then I have been unable to log on to the Backup Exec server, I get an error "Failed connecting to service" I receive this error when connecting from the remote admin machine, when I try and connect to Backup Exec from the machine that the backup server is installed on it just sits there forever trying to connect. I've read through this entire forum, trying a few different things but to no avail! Please please help me

Dude ... The fact that you are doing it remotely has nothing to do with it. Check the logon credentials of the services.

Now that you changed the admin password ... You are going to have to edit all the services that used the admin account to startup.

Do this by
Start > Run > type "services.msc"
You'll find all the services here ...

Or i suppose you could just change the admin password back to what it used to be That'll be less work

Thanks for the info, I'll try the services.msc route. I've already tried just changing the admin password back to the origional before, but that didn't work. I'm not sure why it didn't but???
