Changed user p/w, can't start Sql Server

Hi;
I am running Sql Server dev edition on my home system - not on a domain.
When I installed I selecgted mixed security so can have user/pw ad well as
SSPI. I told it to run the server using my login.
I changed the password for my Windows login and Sql Server will now not
start. If I change back to the old pw it will. How do I get it to update the
pw for my username for when it starts?

Open up AdminTools -> Services
Find the MSSQLServer and SQLServerAgent service and update the passwords
there. Restart the services.

MCT, MCSD, MCDBA|||Administrative Tools, Services, there you select the SQL Server service and
change the password for
the login. this applies for all services in windows, not only SQL Server.

service using the control panel service control applet. Next time, use
Enterprise Mangler to change the password for the service before you change
it at the Windows level.

After changing the Service startup account password, you need to change that
in Control panel -- admin tools -- services.
How to do:-
1. Control Panel - Admin tools -- Services
2. Double click above the MSSQL Server service
3. In the Log on tab, change the password, Click ok and restart the
service.
Note:
Do the same for SQL Agent service.
Thanks
