If you do not want to join your account to local admins, then you need
configure Reporting Services' access permission.
Log on as local admin. In IE, browse to Report Manager
(http://localhost/reports, which you said is OK). Click "Properties" tab,
you see "Security" tab om the left. Select it, if there is other tabs. Click
"New Role Assignment". Add your user account to the "Group or user name"
text box, such as "machineName\UserName", then check the role you want to
be: Browser, Content Manager"..., Click OK. Now you will have the
permissions assigned to checked roles. In your case, you may want to be
Content Manager.

Hi,
Thanks for what has been the fastest reply ever!!!
I have found the report I created and assigned the permissions. Is the
reporting services controlled entirely through the website then (No need to
do anything in Management Studio)??
Also now when I run the report which I can see, I get this error?
An error has occurred during report processing.
Cannot create a connection to data source 'AdventureWorks'.
Cannot open database "AdventureWorks" requested by the login. The login
failed. Login failed for user 'username'
I assume I need some kind of permission on the actual database?

You can do the reporting services access permissions through SSMS. It is
basically the same way of doing it, just in different user interface. Since
I started using RS since SQL Server 2000, I am used to do it with Report
Manager, the web interface.
For the error you get, you need to configure the report's data source.
Again, use Report Manager, go to the report folder where you have your data
source created. Click the data source and with "general" tab on the left
selected. Make sure the ConnectionString is correct and you have to
correctcly pick one of the 4 radio buttons on "Connect using:", based on
your Reporting Services' configuration, which is an ASP.NET web application,
running under certain user account. You have to know what is that user
account.
