Visual Studio localhost prompting for login

Question

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 for a project. When I try to run the project, the browser pops up the login prompt saying Authentication Required. If I hit Ok or Cancel, it goes to the error page saying HTTP Error 401 - Unauthorized.

The weird thing is the same project was working fine till today! There have been no recent web.config changes and I cannot see how any of the recent minor file changes made could cause this.

Any help would be appreciated.

You might need admin rights to run in the debugger, depending on OS
