I tried to open http://localshot/reportserver to examine the reports deployed earlier today. Strangely, my laptop shows the Intranet warning. I ignored it. Enter the logon ID/PW for the laptop. It complains the insufficient privilege. I open it in IE as an admin, the same problem! I switched to Reproting Services Configuration Manager to change the RS service account to local system. It showed an error. Click it for more details:
"The report server cannot decrypt the symmetric key used to access sensitive or
encrypted data in a report server database. You must either restore a backup key
or delete all encrypted content..."
Solution:
I clicked the Delete button for the encrypted content.
Problem 2:
Then I got the insufficient permission error logging as a local admin on my laptop.
Solution:
Turn off the UAC.
Issue 3:
When I log into http://localhost/reports, I can see site settings now. But I cannot add the local admin user (i.e., CK-PC\CK) into the content manager role in Report Manager. I only see the two system roles: Sys Admin and Sys User. I confused myself on 'Site Settings' and 'Folder Settings'. The assignment of content manager is in Folder Settings.

Solution:
Adding http://localhost as a trusted intranet site works for me, no more pop up asking for login credentials.
