During step 2 of 9 in the Sharepoint products and Technologies
configuration wizard I get
the "Configuration Failed" error

Failed to connect to configuration database.
An exception of type System.Security.AccessControl.PrivilegeNotHeldException
was thrown.
Additional exception information : The process does not possess the
'SeSecurityPrivilege' privilege which is required for this operation.

I am using exisiting SQL Server 2005.
The Databases sharepoint_configuration and sharepoint_admincontent are
created.
My domain account has a local admin priviledge on the machine.
Also this domain account is in dbcreator and security admin role.
I do not see any websites being created in IIS.

If anyone has faced similar problem.please let me know.
