localhost access denied +prompt for name and password

[Plavy]

Hi there
I have just installed iis and Front page 2003 web extensions but when I tried to open my browser and type localhost I was not allowed to view that page even though I am admin and then I had to type username and password, which I did but it was wrong.When I went to w3School or world wide web consortium and tried to practice some asp files I could not do it.I did create virtual server in my pc it is there but I cannot access local host so after I have created my web page I will not be able to test them or if I connect them with a database I will not be able to view it.
Thanks for any advice given

I do not know if this will help.

I could not open my website on localhost without being prompted. I used to be able to. I could not open the site through Frontpage on http://localhost. The following solved my problem:

Also I received following advice from Ron Symonds - Microsoft MVP (FrontPage)

Have you installed IE7?
If so, (and this may work anyway)
In Internet Explorer
Tools->Internet Options
Security Tag
Click "Local Intranet"
Click "Custom Level"
Scroll down to the bottom to the User Authorisation section
Select "Automatic Logon with current User Name and password"
Click OK, Click Yes

You may need to add Localhost to the Intranet zone - if so click the
Sites button and Advanced link.

Click OK
