Hi Mimi,
it's very simple, only thing you have to do is, try to create new login name(user name) by name "distributor_admin" and password(it's up to you) on the local server i mean on your publishing server. Give "dbo" permission to that user name.
(or)
you can create same new login id to start up SQLserver Agent on both the publisher and as well as subscriber with the same password. That will solve the problem. Try to do it and let me know.
