This article was previously published under Q159925 SYMPTOMS
When you try to configure a service to start using something other than
the system account in the Control Panel Services utility, you receive the
following error:
Cannot set the startup parameters for the <service> service.
Error 1057 occurred: the account name in invalid or does not exist.
CAUSE
A password must be specified for the account in the "Log on As" dialog
box under This Account.
A set of asterisks are placed in the Password and Confirm Password boxes
automatically when a user account is chosen. Those asterisks do not
necessarily represent the correct password for the chosen account and an
entry must be typed there. If no password is specified, this error occurs,
however, Windows NT will accept the wrong password.
RESOLUTION
Ensure that the proper password is typed in for the Password and
Confirm Password boxes for the user account chosen.
