Tip at the bottom of the page

The Tip says that if you want to remove the configuration settings for the execution account, you must edit the config file directly by removing the values from the <UserName>, <Password>, and <Domain> elements. So this implies that I can't use the rsconfig utility.

However I found that by running rsconfig -e without supplying additional parameters, it removed the UserName, Password, and Domain values that I had supplied for the execution account.

Did I misunderstand? Is this correct?

Step 6 says "In the Report Properties dialog box, click Code.

There doesn't seem to be a Reports menu. I finally figured out to select "View Properties Window" from the menu. On the Properties window, I selected "Report" from the dropdown list. Then I clicked the icon labeled "Property Pages" to open the Report Properties dialog box.
