SQL hates me. x.x

Okay.. >_>! To answer first impressions, yes I r a total nub. I.. Just wanna has some fun on a test server.

I tried to set up an SQL server.

Here is what I did. :x

I downloaded SQL and the Sp4 patch..

- Hit 'Autorun'.

- SQL server 2000 components.

- Install Database Server.

- I click next on the first box.

- Put my dot on Local Computer, click next.

- Create a new instance of SQL Server, or install Client Tools. *Hits Next*.

- Type in my name, leave Company blank. 'Hits next, yet again'.

- Clicked on Yes.

- Put my dot on Server and Client tools. Click next.

- Tick Default, click next.

- Dot on typical, click next.

- Dot on.. Use the same account for each service. Auto start SQL server service. Leave the password blank..

- Mixed Mode.. Type password in. >.>

- Click Next, and it starts the copying or w/e.

- Now.. I set it up, hopefully right. Tell me if I am wrong. And as per Sergcools little guide to starting up my SQL server, I click on Start > Program > Service Manager > Click the little green triangle.

[My Server is set to the Default, and service is set to SQL Server]

Then I get this error..

'The service did not start due to a logon failure'.

Then...

'An error 1069 - (The service did not start due to a logon failure.) occurred while performing this service operation on the MSSQLServer service.




Anyway.. That's about as far as I get, and my dreams come crashing down on me.

Anybody care to explain a fix on it.. Or how to set it up properly, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance. =3
