If you are using a local or domain account for SQL Server services startup then ensure the username and password has been supplied correctly to authenticate.

Is this a new installation of SQL Server?

If not check the SQL has been installed properly from SQLSTP.LOG.

If you are using a firewall then ensure the specified port in SQL configuration manager has been kept open for authentication. KBA http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;287932 for a reference on authentication.
