Report Server errors in Form Authentication example

Hi there:-
Anyone have any ideas on this one'
I was trying to implement the Form Authentication example (Using Forms
Authentication in Reporting Services) from the MSDN but I am keep getting
this error message â'rsFailedToDecryptConfigInformationâ'.
I followed all the necessary steps from the example to set up both Report
Server and Report Manager and ran the sql script to generate the
â'UserAccountâ' databasae. I have been able to generate two users from the
â'UILogon.aspxâ' page by pressing the â'Registerâ' button. But when I tried to
logon with the â'Logonâ' button. The same error message would appear.
The actual error message:-
Reporting Services Erro
----
The encrypted value for configuration setting Dsn cannot be decrypted.
(rsFailedToDecryptConfigInformation) Get Online Help
An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more
details. (rsInternalError) Get Online Help
----
Microsoft Reporting Services
I also did a check on the Report Server Service by right click to â'Restartâ'
it from the Administrative Tools à Services and an error message appear:-
â'Could not start the ReportServer service on Local Computer. The service did
not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal
service error. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator.â'
I know the Report Server and Report Manager were running properly before I
changed the setup to Form Authentication. So what else do I need to change'
Or how do I fix the Report Server?
Thanks for reading this message.It sounds like something in your RS configuration got corrupted -- perhaps
the setting for the Report Server database. You can check the log files and
event log for more clues, and look here:

Thanks for your advice. You are right I make a mistake in my
rsReportServer.config file. So I went back to check through all the other
config files on both ReportManager and ReportServer. Then I ran rsKeymgmt
utility to delete all existing encrypted keys in Database and I ran rsConfig
utility to regenerate the connection, followed by rsActivate utility to
reactivate the report server with the correct rsReportServer.config file.
I have been able to restart the Report Server Service after the changes
without any error message in the Event Viewer but I still not been able
access the Report Server via the Form Authentication "Logon" button. I get an
error message for:-
The report server installation is not initialized. Check the documentation
for more information. (rsReportServerNotActivated)
What would it be'

http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/rsadmin/htm/drp_customizing_v1_4hys.asp
If that doesn't work, I'd just uninstall and reinstall at this point.
