Microsoft.SqlServer.Configuration.SqlEngine.ValidationException: The specified credentials provided for the SQL Server service are invalid. To continue, provide a valid account and password for the SQL Server service.
2.Solution:
There is a step in the installation that lists all services and allows users to specify accounts for these services. If an error is reported, do not select Use the same account for all SQL Server services.
Then modify the account name and select NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM or NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE, and then click Next to set the administrator's user name and password.
Then add the Administrator account;
and select mixed mode when specifying the SQL Server account, start sa and specify a password for sa
