I press ctrl + F5 to launch my personal site starter kit--I get a login for the localhost host.
Okay, I am trying my computer name with password, administrator with password,...
No cigar.
Is there a certain username and password to get in to localhost login that the Visual Web Developer Express Beta 2 calls up when you launch the browser to view the site?
Otherwise, where do I look for it or create it?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help this newbie get started.
If I understand your question correctly, you need to click on "website" on the vwd menu, and then click on "ASP.NET Configuration." This will bring you to the configuration page where you can set up users and passwords and other options. When you set up a new
user, the passwords must contain a mixture of letters and numbers and at least one character (*&^%$!@). Hope this helps.
when you first set up the starter kit you are presented with a HTML page inside the visual studio IDE, I would have a look at the instructions that it gives you on running the system for the first time.
BTW: If you have already configured it, you can always view the html page "Welcome.html" in the solution explorer.
When I tried to do this(see Welcome.html page directions below) the "Administrators and
Friends check boxes" were not there. The Roles box was empty. So I went ahead and created those roles:
Administrators and Friends, then I re-created my new user and checked those boxes after I filled on the username and password info--still it would not let me login.

(from Welcome.html)
To create an administrative user
Run the site at least once before proceeding. This ensures the initialization of the Membership and Roles databases.
In the Website menu, click ASP.NET Configuration.
Click the Security tab.
Click Create user.
In the Create User box, type a user name, password, and e-mail address for the administrator user. You must also provide a security question and answer that is used to help you recover your password, if necessary.
In the Roles box, select both the Administrators and Friends check boxes to make the user into an administrator and a member of the Friends role.

Samurai007,
Thanks for replying--here's what I'm getting after the login.
http://localhost:2617/WebSite1/Welcome.html
Server Error in '/WebSite1' Application.
HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden.
Version Information: ASP.NET Development Server 8.0.0.0
I have taken your advice and opened the ASP.Net Config pages, I have created a username and login, saved it,
it doesn't let me log in.
?????
Anything else I can try? Is ther another step?
Thanks again for your help.
