  When trying to connect to my SSRS instance from my SSMS on my desktop machine using the servername\instance name format, i get the following error...

  The username or password is not valid or you do not have permission to access this server. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient)

  I'm using windows authentication. i can view the ssrs web site and see and run the reports (and browse and modify site and folder settings because im in the group in the system administrator role).

  I've restarted the ssrs service and rebooted my client. i can connect to other ssrs instances on other ssrs servers from my client.

  why can't i connect? any help will be appreciated

  thanks

  Does your login not have permissions? Is SSRS running under a service account? That would be the first things I'd check.

  HTH,
