Error while trying to start sql server agent

As I am trying to start the Sql Server Agent on Sql Server 2000, I am
getting the following error:
An error 1069 - (The service did not start due to login failure) occurred
while performing this service operation on the Sql Server Agent service.
Any suggestion/advise will be of great help. Thanks.
What account is your SQLSERVERAGENT service set to run with? If not
LocalSystem, has the password for this account been changed?
