I have the same problem:
I temporarily replaced the anonymous account by another account to
troubleshoot the possibility of permission problems. What steps should
I take to start using the anonymous account again? IIS is running many
other websites.
I manually changed the password as suggested above, but it appeared I
had to change the password for each and every virtual website in IIS.
An other way to do it, would be to delete the whole virtual website and
create it again?
Other suggestions?
