Authentication Failure accessing http://localhost/ReportServer

I am not able to authenticate to  localhost/reportserver

I am using the administrator account to sign on , all sql services are started and running ok.  I have tried different username formats domain\user and user@domain and domain.local\user .. all with the same result.  

I have even tried creating a new admin account, blocking all inheritance from the Group Policy and still not able to get access.  

I went into IIS, right clicked and left click browse, authentication failure
 I have tried going directly to the url,
I have made sure the ip address I am connecting from is allowed to connect to the directory.
I have changed config to allow all ip addresses to connect.
I have tried with and without requiring a certificate.

The error is

Access to the path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin' is denied.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin' is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.
