Error: Server not found or server may be down (FWM 01003) null

Question

I installed Crystal Reports Server 2008. The server is a new install of windows 2003 server fully service packed... The ony connection to SQL is through an ODBC connection to a seperate MSSQL Server. I did not set a password for the CMC and checked the "change administrator password later". When I try to log in to the CMC I get
Error: Server srvreports:6400 not found or server may be down (FWM 01003) null
I am connecting through an ODBC using a trusted connection... Should I not do it this way?
I have tried uninstalling several times... including specifying a password.
Thank you in advance for the assistance

Hi Abhishek,
The Central Management Server (CMS) is responsible for maintaining a database of information about your BusinessObjects Enterprise system, which other components can access. The data stored by the CMS includes information about users and  groups, security levels, BusinessObjects Enterprise content, and servers                           
- Maintaining Security , Managing Objects, Managing Servers, Managing Auditing.
SIA is the Server Intelligence Agent. Server Intelligence is the underlying server management architecture that simplifies the administration and deployment of BusinessObjects Enterprise servers and services. When you start a SIA you can configure all, some, or none of the servers contained in/managed by the SIA to also be started. All BO servers in a SIA must belong to the same cluster. The SIA maintains server status according to the settings you specify in the CMC. It processes the CMC's requests to start, stop, monitor, and manage all servers on the node, and it also monitors potential problems and automatically restarts servers that have shut down unexpectedly. The SIA ensures optimal performance by continually monitoring server status information, which is stored in the CMS database. When you change a server's settings or add a new server in the CMC, the CMS notifies the SIA, and the SIA performs the task.
The SIA is automatically configured during installation, but you can change these default settings through the CCM.
