   What error message did you get?   
      
   Not that your administrative account is a good idea for two reason:   
   1) Too many privileges.   
   2) When you change passwords, SQL Server will no longer start.   
   Just create a plain account. SQL Setup will then assign it the   
   permissions it needs.
