Are you using a domain admin account or local admin account? If you using a domain admin account the system you are doing the install on has be part of the windows domain that you are adding the account to. If it's a local account then the problem maybe with SAM file for that system. A service account is like any other user account, typically the password does not expire and depending on what the account needs to access is what groups its a member of.
