Unable to Start SQL Server service for SQL 2005 Server

  • Hi,

    Not able to start the SQL server service its throwing an error in log file as

    Error :3414,Severity :21 ,State:2

    An error occured during recovery, preventing the databese 'Master' (databse ID 1) from restarting.Diagnose the recovery errors and fix them, or restore from a known good backup.

    I don't have the backup and not even able to get login as the sql server service itself is not starting.

    Thanks.

  • 1) Check application log, probably you will see the reason of failure there

    2) Do you remember the location of system database files(mdf and ldf)? Check if the files are available there or not.

    3) Go to run-services and check the account configured for sql services? Is the configured account exist? The other possibility could be of password is changed for that configured account.

    4) You can try to run the services on different account which have enough permission and you aware of its password.
