backup schedule

SQL server 2005 is installed but can not schedule a backup job.
In the maintenance plan when selecting a new maintenance plan or maintenance plan wizard an error is produced which is:
'Agent XPs' component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server.
I can see that the SQL Server Agent (Agent XPs is disabled). When trying to start this by right clicking on it in object explorer, the error message is 'unable to start service SQLAgent$SQL2005 on server serverName'. Service Logon failure

How can I scedule a back up job on this server?

Any thoughts please?

"Service Logon Failure" message means that user name and pwd provided for the service are incorrect. You can fix them in services snap-in (type services.msc in commnd line or try My Computer -> Manage -> Services And Applications -> Services -> double click on SQLAgent$SQL2005 service -> Log On tab )|||

Hi,

Went to the Logon Tab.

There is already a log on setup as admin

What next?

Thanks
