Just a guess, but I wonder if the IWAM password is not correct... the IWAM
password is cached in the IIS metabase and it needs to match the password on
the IWAM account in the Windows user database. You can use the ADSUTIL to
check or change the password in the IIS metabase. See below:

http://securityadmin.info/faq.htm#iwam

The ADSUTIL.VBS command can be used to retrieve or change the IWAM and/or
IUSR ID and/or password stored in the IIS metabase. For example, you may
need to use the command "ADSUTIL GET" to get the IWAM password from the
metabase, then use the Windows 2000 / XP / .NET Local Users and Groups MMC
to change the password on the IWAM account to match.

More information on using the ADSUTIL.VBS command can be found in the
articles below:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q297989
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q296851

If you have deleted or created a new login ID to be used instead of the
existing IWAM or IUSR account, you may need to grant the new account
permission to "Log on Locally." See the article below for more information:
