I had a similar issue. The next solution is in *case to can't launch the server Locally * and you will see the same error msg.(Image 1)

To solve that and have the server working you must have the next steps.

1. Go to SQL Server Services
2. Right click to open properties
3. Go to LogOn tab (By default you will see something like Image 3)
4. Select the radio button Built-in account (Image 4)
5. Click on Ok
6. Go back to SQL Server Services and launch again the server (Image 5) After that you must be able to see run it.
