In addition to matthews' comment (which is 100% correct), you should NOT use YOUR personal NT account to run services, ie the M$ SQL Server service. You should consider to create/use a dedicated local or domain account for that purpose, for example name it SQLSERVICEACCOUNT, using a strong password. Note that the account used will need the local &quot;admin&quot; permissions to be able to run without any problems...<br />
Using the above procedure, change the logon properties for the service.<br />
