Hello
can yuo help me and tell me how i can fix this issue when i start SQL server i get this error :

Windows could not start the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 3417.

note: this problem got after reset password for administrator.

waiting to update

thank you

In services.msc (Start->Run, type services.msc), find the SQL Server service, right click, properties, Log on tab and see what you have there. If it is set to start using a specific account, make sure the password is correct (i.e., re-enter the password). You can also use System Account to avoid this problem.
