Windows – Password for iis after installing

iisinstallationwindows

After installing IIS on my dev system, window xp professional, its asking for username and password while trying to access http://localhost. Can you please help me out. Tried googling and tried may things but could not resolve the issue.

  1. Anonymous access is enabled
  2. iusr_ is given full access to the wwwroot folder
  3. asp.net2.0 has been registered

etc. But still not working. 🙁

EDIT:
Now the password issue has gone off and shows this:
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0046)
Permission denied: 'GetObject'
/localstart.asp, line 40

Browser Type:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) ; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Page:
GET /localstart.asp

Another try: is there a web.config file in wwwroot (or in a parent folder)? If yes, check if authentication is explicitly defined:

 <system.web>
     ...
     <authentication mode="Windows"/>
     ...
