Can anyone help me solve this error message

My DTS is local and not on the server, the job just started to fail this last 2 days, no logins were changed here is the error message.

A problem occurred while attempting to logon as the Windows user 'SQLAgentCmdExec': Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. The step failed.

1. Are you running SQL Agent as local system or other account?
2. Do you have a password policy for expiration days?
3. Have you tried to reset username and password to whatever is was before, when working?
4. The job that is running, is that connecting to other machine than local? If connecting to other machine, has that account changed?
