Hello, I am trying to connect to a local SQL Server, and I am unable to. The SQL Server process and the SQL Server Agent process both fail to start. I went into Server Configuration manager and made sure the username/pass were correct. Still no dice. I even went into active directory and changed my password....rebooted....open SQL Server Config....changed pass...same problem. Any help?

Edit: Using SQL Server 2005. Also in the event log is this:

The SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) service depends on the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service which failed to start because of the following error:
%%0
