I am getting the following error while configuring the reporting services on
my local machine. I cannot restore the key as I do not know the file or the
password.
Somebody please help!

ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.WMIProviderException: The encrypted value
for the "LogonCred" configuration setting cannot be decrypted.

Hello,

Are you installing a new version of Reporting Services (with clear
ReportServer database) or just reinstalling it with using previous version
of ReportServer database??
It looks like that you've reinstalled Reporting Services without recovering
previous encryption key.
If you don't have any copy of your previous encryption key, the only way to
make Reporting Services content available is to delete all unusable
encrypted data from ReportServer database.
Follow these steps to apply the encryption key to the report server
database:

1.. Run rskeymgmt.exe locally on the computer that hosts the report
server. You must use the -d apply argument. The following example
illustrates the argument you must specify:
rskeymgmt -d
2.. Restart Internet Information Service (IIS).
After the values are removed, you must re-specify the values as follows:

1.. Run rsconfig utility to specify a report server connection. This step
replaces the report server connection information. For more information, see
Configuring a Report Server Connection and rsconfig Utility.
2.. If you are supporting unattended report execution for reports that do
not use credentials, run rsconfig to specify the account used for this
purpose. For more information, see Configuring an Account for Unattended
Report Processing.
3.. For each report and shared data source that uses stored credentials,
you must retype the user name and password. For more information, see
Specifying Credential and Connection Information.
4.. Open and resave each subscription. Subscriptions retain residual
information about the encrypted credentials deleted during the rskeymgmt
delete operation. You can update the subscription by opening and saving it.
You do not need to modify or recreate it.
I hope this infomation will helpful.

Best Regards,
Radoslaw Lebkowski

Hi Rad,

The very first step in trying to delete the key is giving me the same
exception which is ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.WMIProviderException:
The encrypted value
for the "LogonCred" configuration setting cannot be decrypted.

rskeymgmt -d -i instance

This is completely new installation in 2steps.

1. Installed sql server 2005 with all other services except reporting
services as iis was not installed at that time.

2. Installed reporting services.

Hmm, that's a little strange situation.
Under the following link there is a very similar problem with LogonCred
decryption problem.

http://groups.google.pl/group/microsoft.public.sqlserver.reportingsvcs/browse_thread/thread/ec7858be1ef25e24/9f72570a671b74e7?lnk=st&q=LogonCred+decrypted&rnum=1&hl=pl#9f72570a671b74e7

Maybe you have problem with authorization a connection to ReportServer
database (bad values contained in RSReportServer.config file used to connect
to the report server database)
Try to use rsconfig utility described below
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa179654(SQL.80).aspx
