IIS asks password while accessing http://localhost


Recommended Posts


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.

well did that .... no problem with IE now :)

but firefox still asking for password .. :?
