Rest API credentials issues in power bi service

Hello Saviors,

 

We have created a power bi report in power bi desktop and we made the incremental refresh configurations and we, for the first time, published our report to pbi service:

 


The normal refresh button works fine in PBI Desktop, but The problem is that when trying to set a Scheduled Refresh or connecting our dataset to the a Gateway we face credential issues like shown below:

 

 

And when editing the credentials we faced this error:

We have checked many solutions in the web but none of them was good for us.

Please Help Us!!! 😣
