For Local SAM - open computer management, local users and groups, find the
IUSR_COMPUTER name account, right mouse on the account, and reset the
password.

Then go to IIS MMC, open the site property, directory security tab,
anonymous access, reselect the iusr account, enter the password, click ok to
save.

then go to command prompt, enter 'iisreset.exe' to restart IIS services.

then test browse your site.
