The first step in setting up the Reporting Engine is to ensure that the Reporting Engine service is running, as shown in the previous section. Furthermore, the Reporting Engine service must be the only web server running on the computer. If any other web servers are running on the server, they will compete for ownership of the localhost status and of Port 80, through which files are served to the web. To determine whether any other web servers are running, go to Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services and look for services that appear to be web servers.
It is easy to tell when you have all other servers disabled. In the Processing Engine Administrator, go to Reporting Engine | Show. A web browser will be launched. If a web page is displayed, then the Reporting Engine server is the localhost (IP address 127.0.0.1). If the page cannot be displayed, chances are that another server is running on that box and is the localhost. Keep looking until you find the other server and then turn it off.
Once the Reporting Engine is running as the localhost, you will see a login page in the web browser when you click on Reporting Engine | Show, as described above. Log in to this form with the user name admin and the password none. These are the default settings. (You should change the admin login information immediately upon entering the admin site.)
Click on the Administrator icon 
to access the main administration console. Click the User Accounts section in the left menu and select "admin." In the form on the right, change the user name and password to something easy to remember but difficult for others to guess. Click Update.
You are now ready to begin managing your Reporting Engine.
