Hi all,
I installed the report server developers edition Jan 20 a couple of days ago for a course i'm taking.
Everything worked fine until today I added a password to the administrator's account on my PC.
From there on the PBI report server doesn't recognize the server and cannot connect.
Trying to uninstall / repair results in "Setup failed".
what's going on ?
Thanks for your help

Do you mean if you remove the password, everything works fine again? And try right click report server and "run as admin".
