    At the server running MSSQL go to Control Panel->Admin Tools-> Services. Find MSSQL (and any related SQL services running on the server, if needed) and double click the service. Go to Log On information. My assumption is Windows 2000 so it may be a little different navigation under 2003, not sure. HTH.

    This is also in Enterprise Manager, under the properties for the server. Check the security tab and you should use this tab to change the account if needed. That way the permissions will be correct.
