Failed to create the configuration database

I have successfully installed the WSS 3.0 on my windows server 2003, but when running products and configuration wizard I got the following error. Failed to create the configuration database Task configdb has failed with an unknown exception Exception: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation. and here is the part of log file which contains error: Entering function Farm.IsJoinedToFarm 12/07/2009 10:11:20 8 INF Entering function Farm.TryIsJoinedToFarm 12/07/2009 10:11:20 8 INF My cached Farm object is null, so will load it 12/07/2009 10:11:20 8 INF Calling SPFarm.Local and SPServer.Local to get the local farm objects 12/07/2009 10:11:20 8 INF SPFarm.Local returned null.

This looks like it is possibly a permission issue. Make sure the account you are running this as has local admin rights on the server and that the account you use to connect to SQL server has db creator rights.
