What to enter when asked `Provide Service AQccount` in TFS Server Configuration Wizard?

Question

When installing TFS Server 2010 on my server, I'm asked to provide the service account as below screenshot. I've tried sa and NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE account with admin password provided when installing SQL Server but all failed.

If you have any workaround for me, please share!

You need to use a valid user (non-system) account, such as yours, per the instruction on the page. You cannot use the system accounts, such as NETWORK SERVICE, here.
