A simple Question

Team system uses two accounts: One ("TFSSERVICE") is used to run the web services and to access the databases. The other ("TFSREPORTS") is used by reporting services to access the databases for reporting purposes.

These accounts can have any name you wish - they don't need to be called TFSSERVICE and TFSREPORTS. If you're setting TFS up in a domain, these should normally be domain accounts.

These two accounts don't need any special permissions - the TFS setup program gives them all the rights they need.

I believe you need to run the TFS setup program as an administrator, but neither of these accounts needs admin rights - neither in the domain, nor locally on the server.

What exactly are you having trouble with regarding the service accounts?
