IIS asks password while accessing http://localhost

Featured Replies

i am facing this problem ... when i type in

http://localhost/index.asp

IIS is asking for a password a userid which i never configured ....i dont have password setups for any account on my pc ...HELP .!!!!!


Is the UserID IUSR_computername?

If so ...

Click Start>Administrative Tools>Internet Information Services

Expand the left tree, right-click your WebSite>Properties

Click on Directory Security, then in "Anonymous access and authentication control" click on Edit

Tick "Allow IIS to control password", then OK and come out of IIS.

If that doesn't work, you could back up your data, uninstall then reinstall IIS, that should resolve the problem as well.

replace the main asp file with your own and it will not ask for password any more.

it's just a security measure...just type in any authoring accout/local accoutn user name and password.
