Newbie Error

Hi guys,
Your help please.
First off, I have searched the Forum for answers using the keywords and tried those clues first but with no luck. This one for example: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q282254

I had a copy of MSDE installed on my machine about 12 month ago but never used it so I uninstalled it. Then I downloaded and installed SQL Server 120-day Evaluation edition a few days ago. When I tried to run SQL Server I get
An error 1069 – (The service did not start due to logon failure)…

I'm using Windows XP.

How can I find out what the password is or how can I reset it so the SQL Server logon works?

Any ideas?

Thanks Guys

FBIt's a windows service, so you'll need to go to your "Administrative Tools".|||what exactly do I need to do to get it to work?
I have gone to Control Panel > Administative Tools > Services > right click, select properties then moved to the Log On tab. Then what? ...|||Oh yeah, OK I've done it. On the Log On tab, in Log on as: I've selected Local System account, rather than This account.
Fanstastic! 8-)
