Changed Administrator Password

Hi There!
I have changed the Administrator password on my Windows 2003 SBS server, and
now each time I reboot the server, the SQL Server Service fails to start.
I have to change the password back to the previous one, manually start the
service, and then change the password back to what I want it to be.
Does anyone know how to get round this?
TIA

If the SQL Services are running on a specified account then you will need to
change the password for the service account too.
In case the SQL Services are running on the Local System account then there
should be no problem in the service starting up.
Thanks

Go to the Administrative Tools/Services and find the MSSQLSERVER service.
Click for it's properties and check if the user that starts the service is
Administrator. Change the password for the new password there.

Thanks for the help - I have made the change, and shall check it next time
the server is rebooted.
Does it matter if it is set to Local System account or Administrator? Could
I avoid the problem in the future by changing the option to Local System
account?
Thanks In Advance
