I have this Windows Server installed on a virtual machine, and I have a website on IIS of that virtual machine for some testing purposes. The problem here is, that everytime I want to acces to the website, the site asks me for some username and password. At first I didn't know why, I tried using the sites login but it didn't worked. Then I used the virtual machine's log in and that's how it worked. My question here is, how do I disable it? The site is in a virtual directory, and I had it located on My documents. At first I thought it was that but when I changed the security of the "My Documents" folder to shared, it still keeps asking me for credentials. Any Ideas?

On the taskbar, click Start, and then click Control Panel. In Control Panel, click Programs and Features, and then click Turn Windows Features on or off. Expand Internet Information Services, then World Wide Web Services, then Security. Select Windows Authentication, and then click OK.
Answer: Anonymous authentication is the default authentication mode for any site that is hosted on IIS, and it runs under the "IUSR_[ServerName]" account.
This likely has to do with the authentication settings of the site within IIS. Do you have Windows Authentication turned on for the site via IIS? Here is a good link that should help solve your issue:
