Error connecting to Data Source in SSRS

I am trying to connect to Datasource but getting this error:

An error occurred during local report processing. 
An error has occurred during report processing. 
Cannot create a connection to data source 'PO'.
You have specified integrated security or credentials in the connection string for the data source, but the data source is configured to use a different credential type. To use the values in the connection string, you must configure the unattended report processing account for the report server.

Any idea how to resolve this?

Thanks Aruna

Looks like it forgot your password, If it is an embedded data source > Right click on the Data source then go to properties > credentials.

If it is a shared data source go to the shared data sources, right click on the shared data source and hit Open, once in there click on credentials and enter the credentials again.
