Solution

  • According to your screenshot, there is a Warning mark followed Reporting Key Step.

    If your deployment uses reporting, you will be prompted for a password in order to back up the encryption key for reporting.

    The backups will be encrypted using the key for which you are required to provide a password that is at least 7 characters long and contains one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter and one number.

    enter image description here

    This maybe the root cause why the verify button is disabled and not able to move on next step. You must make sure the Confirm Password and Encryption Key Password is the same. And the password is strong enough to follow the requirements. In other words, you must make sure the warning mark disappear in Reporting Key step.
