Issue / Symptoms 

  AccessData services and Application Pools can't start, because the service account that AccessData's products were installed under had its password changed through Active Directory or through CTRL+ALT+DEL > Change password.  
 
 This typically results in a "Service Unavailable" error when accessing Summation or eDiscovery. 
 
  *****If the service account used to install AccessData's products had its password changed through      "Local users and groups" >> "Set password" this will not work and Windows will have to be reinstalled and start over from scratch.*******  

 

 Cause 

 AccessData products use cached credentials to Start the AccessData Services and the IIS Application Pools. When the password is changed these services can't start.
