Can't remove password protection

If you enabled anonymous access but still gets a password, it means either:
1. The resource is not ACL'd to allow access to the configured anonymous
user
2. The configured anonymous username/password in IIS is out of sync with the
real user

Real easy to figure it out -- look in IIS for the configured anonymous user,
see if it has read ACL to the resources being accessed, and check from IIS
configuration whether the user identity/password matches the one stored in
the local SAM. Also, if your machine is in a domain, there may be a group
policy that silently disabled your anonymous user for whatever reason
(password expiration, group membership, etc -- tons of ways for IT Admins to
do this to you) and you will have to fix it.

Bottom line: Enabling anonymous access does not mean that you will never see
the password dialog. Read:

My webpage is password protected, even though I never told it to be. I made
sure that anonymous access is enabled, and that by default all IP addresses
are allowed access. If I enter the password it loads fine. How can I get
rid of the password protection? I am running IIS 6.0 on Server 2003.
