The Service Did Not Start Due To a Logon Failure

[EST7745]

This is the message that I receive when I attempt to start the SQL Server Agent....

"The Service did not start due to a logon failure"

"An error - 1069 - (The service did not start due to a logon failure.) occurred while performing this service operation on the SQLSERVERAGENT Service."

I'm running SQL 2000 on a Windows NT 4 Server. Does anyone have any clues as to why I'm getting this message. I believe the Windows NT Administrator password was changed a few days ago. The strange thing is that I can still use the old password to unlock the server.

Open the Services Applet in Administrative Tools and Select Properties on the context menu of the SQLSERVERAGENT Process. Then go to the Log On Tab, If you specify an account for it to log on to and that password changed, you have to update it there.
