 Much to my delight today I stumbled upon this little bug in SharePoint Central Admin whilst trying to add a service account.

 Specified value is not supported for the {0} parameter

 

 

This seems to be a bug with Central Admin, Its time for a SharePoint PowerShell work around.
First of all we want to create a veritable with the user credentials. The following will open up a login box, the details you enter will then be saved.
$cred = Get-Credential
Then apply these credentials to the “Add managed account” cmdlet
New-SPManagedAccount -Credential $cred
This will then add the managed account and give you a confirmation

    Good work Nuronv. I successfully changed the credential to a domain account, however SP admin can no longer connect to the database. I made sure that the domain account is a dbowner in SQL server. I am trying to move my config databases off the SQL express instance that it installed by default, and onto a dedicated SQL server – that already has the content database running on it. The default SQL express instance on the sharepoint machine doesnt seem to allow remote connections for some reason.

      Actually answered my own question, I needed to have SQL browser running on the SQL express instance.
