The service has failed to start because the user credentials and password are no longer valid. As a result the service is no longer available to dependent services and clients. By default this service logs on under the Local System account. It is possible that the account used to log on was changed from Local System to something else.
The account used to start the service has invalid credentials or insufficient privilege to start the service.
To ensure that the service is configured properly, use the Services snap-in, in Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to change the user account back to Local System.
