If you're a plonker like me and have forgotten a password, you have 2 options: Call the 'aspnet_Membership_ResetPas... sproc. Simply update the aspnet_membership table manually by copying the password and passwordSalt column values from another user (whose password you know). Here's some code I used: declare @u uniqueidentifierset @u = (select userid from aspnet_users where username = 'userwhosepswdyouknow') UPDATE aspnet_MembershipSET [Password] = (select password from aspnet_membership where...

What a pile of b-grade sh*t - you download & install a fresh install of mysql... then open the manual to get this message. So I try downloading a new copy from the mysql web site - under Documentation (duh)... this time the help file loads... and shows the table of contents.. but no details (Page cannot be found error).

Those of you wanting to know how to remove this annoying version on IE - click here.

Please log on to the same user account from which it was installed and try again." Even if you belong to the local administrators group. Brilliant! *** Update: For those of you wanting a far superior browser...
When trying to run/debug my ASP.Net web app from VS.NET (2003) I get this error: Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on the web server. The project is not configured to be debugged.

'A certificate is required to complete the client authentication'. This seems to be a bug with VS.NET - the workaround is to click OK to the error...
I got this error (and serveral variations of it while trying to fix it) when trying to open an ASP.NET (.Net 1.1) web app in VS.NET (2003) (on an XP Pro box): Unable to open Web Project 'TestW'. The file path 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\TestW' does not correspond to the URL 'http://Localhost:/TestW'. The two need to map to the same server location. HTTP Error 403: Access Forbidden This was caused by two problems: I had added a certificate to the server (IIS 5) - and the cert specified my full machine domain...
If you get http error 500 it is often caused because your app (in our case an ASP.NET app) has shit itself. To see more details of the actual error, within IE, you can turn off 'friendly' http errors: Within IE select Tools - Options Select the Advanced tab Make sure the 'Show friendly HTTP error messages' option is unchecked.
