This means that Master Secret is corrupted and you have to restore it to get your BizTalk environment running again. The steps to do it are the following:

1. In a command prompt, goto C:\Program Files\Common Files\Enterprise Single Sign-On\
2. Enter "ssoConfig -restoresecret SSOxxxx.bak", where SSOxxxx.bat file is the Secret Master backup file you created during BizTalk configuration. If you don’t remember the path and file name, go to the BizTalk Configuration console and check it on SSO section.
3. Enter the password that was set on BizTalk installation (you can see the remember question you create during the installation).
