How do I debug a web site with VS2005?

Hello,

Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I couldn't find an answer by searching.

I have been using VWB Express for a while, and have just installed VS2005 Professional. I tried to open an existing web site as an IIS project instead of a file-based one. I want to debug it in VS via IIS, using the correct host header name.

Anyway, when I hit f5, I got a message saying... "Unable to start debugging on the web server. Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. See help for more information."

I am running IIS6 on Windows 2003 Server, I am logged in as Administrator, and the web site has integrated Windows authentication set. VS2005 is installed on the same machine as IIS.

Any ideas what's going wrong? I'm sure this is really simple, but I can't find an answer.
