Hello,

I need to change the admin password on our IIS server. When I change the
password my website goes down. When I put it back to its orginal password
everything comes back online. Any ideas why this happens???

Are you running any services under the local Administrator account?

Cheers

do you have the anonymous account set to use the admin account? maybe the
application pool?

You probably configured the administrator as either the anonymous user or
application pool identity somewhere on the server. Fix your mistake...
