Connection to Server

I have installed Microsoft SQL Server 2000. I am now
thoroughly confused. :-(
When I click on Start/Continue button (in the SQL Server
Service Manager window), I encounter the following error:
- The service did not start due to logon failure.
- An error 1069 - (The service did not start due to a
logon failure) occurred while performing this service
operation on the SQSQLServer service.
Did I miss a set up step?
I'm also confused as to where I set up new users.
I am running Microsoft XP.
Any help will be most appreciated.
Thanks
Carolinehas the account that runs your SQL Service recently changed it's password?
You can reset the password in ctrl panel/admin tools/services

SQL Server is installed on my home laptop and it is only a
single instance use.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
