installed sql server 2012 enterprise. Runs with the built in account fine.
I tried entering a domain account to run as the service account from sql configuration it fails with the error "the specified network password is not correct".
I tried from services.msc and entered successfully but when I try to restart it fails that the log in credentials are wrong.
the domain account and password I entered are just fine. What's it I should do or missing?

Are you typing in Account Name: domain\user?

have you tried using another domain account to test? have you locked the domain account?

First I thank everyone who helped with the answers.
This is how I resolved the issue.
1. I made sure the services ran using my account. It ran fine.
2. So the problem is with the service accounts. I ran the below command.
net USER <service account name> /DOMAIN
3. It showed the servers the account can login and my server was not on the lists.
4. I requested the AD team to add the account to the list of servers the account can log in.
5. I waited for the AD replication and it worked just fine.
