    It seems like you might already have SQL Server installed but the account in which it is configured to start at has a bad password and therefore is failing to start. Go to your Services app and look for SQL Server. It may have an instance name in parens. If you find it then check the logon information and confirm it is correct. Trying to start the service should confirm this. Ideally you should be using a dedicated SQL service account. You definitely shouldn't be using the Administrator account. If this is an old SQL Server then uninstall it first and try again. Alternatively fix the password. If you cannot fix the password then uninstall is the only option.

    Hi @Rohit Kulkarni ,

    Suggest you installing SQL Server with default service account, then you can change the service account after installation.

    Quote from MS document.

    Below is a test in my environment. It seems your SQL server database engine service account has some issue. Or you can use domain admin account or Local system account during installation.

    If it is still not work, please share us the SQL server setup log for analysis. Refer to MS document View and Read SQL Server Setup Log Files.
