FAT64 Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Is the UserID IUSR_computername?If so ...Click Start>Administrative Tools>Internet Information ServicesExpand the left tree, right-click your WebSite>PropertiesClick on Directory Security, then in "Anonymous access and authentication control" click on EditTick "Allow IIS to control password", then OK and come out of IIS.

tguy Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 If that doesn't work, you could back up your data, uninstall then reinstall IIS, that should resolve the problem as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
