AzureStorage Blob Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature

Question

I'm trying to upload a image in Windows Azure Blob and I'm geting the following error which I can't handle.

Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature.

The error occurs when I try to create a container.

   container.CreateIfNotExists()

Here is my code

try
{
    Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.CloudStorageAccount.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["StorageConnectionString"]);
    CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient(); 

    // Retrieve a reference to a container. 
    CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("samples");

    // Create the container if it doesn't already exist.
    // here is the error
    if (container.CreateIfNotExists())
    {
        container.SetPermissions(
            new BlobContainerPermissions
            {
                PublicAccess = BlobContainerPublicAccessType.Blob
            });
    }
    
    CloudBlockBlob blockBlob = container.GetBlockBlobReference("Image1");
    using (var fileStream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(@"Path"))
    {
        blockBlob.UploadFromStream(fileStream);
    }
}
catch (StorageException ex1)
{
    throw ex1;
}

I have tried a lot of options in my code but still getting the error.

My PC's time was off by 1 hour as suggested by others in the comments. Correcting it solved the problem.
