Service account from which SQL Agent is running doesn't have administrative priviledges in SQL Server. It's adviced to change accounts and password using SQL Server Configuration Manager.

Use following procedure, it's for SQL 2005 but will apply:

Hello Daniel!
right on the Target the logon user is defined as NT AUTHORITY\NETWORKSERVICE

I do not find this user in my login so i tried to create this user
CREATE LOGIN [NT AUTHORITY\NETWORKSERVICE] FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master], DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=[us_english]
GO

GETTING THE FOLLOWING ERROR
Msg 15401, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Windows NT user or group 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORKSERVICE' not found. Check the name again.

Try following

USE [master]
GO
CREATE LOGIN [NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE] FROM WINDOWS WITH
DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master]
GO
