I had to change the domain account on some SQL Server boxes that we have. After I changed the account on one machine from DomainNameUser to DomainNameNewUser SQL Server wouldn’t start up

In the error log I saw the following messages

Server Error: 17190, Severity: 16, State: 1.

We are not using encryption, VIA is disabled as well. After trying all kinds of different things I notice that when logging on with this profile on the box there was an error. Something about that the profile couldn’t be created and a temporary profile would be used instead

In the end I had to wipe out the user profile from the box

You do that by following these steps

Right click on computer, select Properties

Click on Advanced System Settings

Select the Advanced Tab

On the user profiles section click on Settings

Select the profile and hit Delete

If you try to log in as that user, the profile will be recreated.

Now when I tried to start SQL Server again, the errors were not there and SQL Server started up without a problem
