- To change the Instant ASP administrator name, enter a new name in the User name edit box.
- You can enter a new password for the administrator in the New password edit box, and confirm your password by re-entering it.
NOTE: If you change the administrator name but do not change the administrator password, the current administrator password remains in effect.
- Finally, you can save your changes by clicking the Save button or return to your previous settings by clicking the Revert button.
Adding and Deleting Authorized IP Addresses
- Select the IP Addresses node under the Security Settings branch. The following controls are displayed in the right-hand pane (figure 3):

Use these properties to provide or prevent specific users from accessing the Web site, directory, or file. By default, all computers will be:
Granted access: Select this button to allow all computers access to this virtual directory, except those computers specifically listed as exceptions. For example, you can exclude a particular individual or group by denying access to your server from a particular IP address, or prevent entire networks from accessing your server, while allowing all others to have access.
Denied access: Select this button to deny access to all remote users except those whose IP addresses have been specifically granted access. IP address security is probably most useful on the Internet, to exclude everyone except known users.NOTE: The localhost enjoys the authorization of accessing the Web site no matter Granted access or Denied access is selected.
- To add a new authorized IP address, click the Add button. The following dialog box appears (figure 4):

Enter a new IP address and click the OK button. The IP address is then added to the All IP Addresses list box.
- To modify an existing IP address, select the IP address you would like to modify in the All IP Addresses list box and click the Edit button to open the IP Address Add/Edit Window which has been shown above. Change the IP address and then click the OK button.
- To delete an existing IP address, select the IP address in the All IP Addresses list box and click the Delete button.
- Once you have finished adding, modifying or deleting IP addresses, click the Save button to save your changes or the Revert button to discard your changes.
