Answer:
when I try to restart the R3 setup the installation prompts for the sap system administrator password for the sap system service user. I enter these the same as i used in the setup but they are not being accepted. See below:
Does anyone know why this is happening? Is there any way I can get around this?

Answer:
Generally:
- download newest R3setup before installations;
- apply newest binaries when you can (especially disp+work, tp, brtools);
- create domain users and rights according to the SAP standard scenario;
- if installation fails first you should asure that you can logon remotely to database before doing anything else (if not - change the db parameters);
- if you listen to me and do the 4 previous properly, then you may have a lot of different errors, but instalation will succeed !
OK
Answer:
i figured out the problem! The default SAP users assigned during the installation had not been given the correct permissions to the SQL database. I manually added them in and restarted the installation and it completed successfully!
Thanks
Phil
