What version of SRS are you using? If it's 2005, try to make sure the Reporting Services windows service identity is set correctly. If you see a red sign on the service identity page, set it to the desired identity.

I am using sql2005 only.There is no red sign on the identity page,service is working properly.

Raj, did you solve this? I have the exact same problem. And my windows service identity is set correctly too.

same problem, and the windowsservice identity is set correctly.

I have this same error could it be that i am on a workgroup. Do I need to have domain accounts? I have a ! in front of my encryption keys. Thanks. Lewie

i was facing the same problem. i have deleted the Encryption Key (Start-->Programs-->Microsoft SQL Server2005-->Configuration Tools-->Reporting Services Configuration ) by clicking Encryption Keys and Delete. If you guys are facing problem with reporting services, you may also try this.

Thanks - I had the same problem and was able to resolve by deleting hte encryption key...

Thanks much! My problem was resolved after following your trick!

The problem is solved after you delete the encrypted content for SQl Server 2008. It worked for me. Try Reporting services configuration manager -> Encryption keys -> delete encrypted content.
