SQL Server 2012 - service account error

Question

I am getting the following 2 errors when trying to install SQL server 2012 on Windows Server 2012. These occur at the server configuration page.

• Access is denied.

• The SQL Server service account login or password is not valid. Use SQL Server Configuration Manager to update the service account.

I have specified the username MYDOMAIN\sqlSvcAcc and the correct password. I am using the default instance name for SQL.

Anyone know whats causing these errors ? is it an AD issue ?

Thanks
