-Copy the ASPNETDB that is located at the App_data Folder in your Apps and paste it anywhere in your drives.. the after copying
-Remove the ASPNETDB in your App_Data folder
-Open SqlServer 2005 or Studio Management Express
-Right Click on Database Folder then select Attach
-Click Add then Browse the ASPNETDB that you have just copied earlier
-You are done :)
In your WebConfig File point the database "ASPNETDB" that was added in your SQL Sever to create a connection.. See below set up:

<connectionStrings>
<remove name="LocalSqlServer" />
<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source= YOUR SERVER NAME;Initial Catalog=ASPNET;Integrated Security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=False;Packet Size=4096;Application Name="Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express""
