    Ahh, Yup that matters. In IIS 5 (and prior) IIS was able to reset or sync
    the password due to the fact that it ran as the local system account. Now
    in IIS 6, due to valid security concerns, IIS doesnt run as local system and
    becuase of that doesnt have the access to the system to change the anonymous
    password. I think you are going to have to sync this one by hand.
    Good Luck,
