It doesn't seem to like the authorization tag underneath the location tag

I added it at the end after the closing tag of system.web and with in the
configuration tag?

Is that right?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<configuration>

<appSettings>

<add key="ConnectionString"

value="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=F:\data\library.mdb;Persist Security Info=False">

</add>

</appSettings>

<system.web>

<!-- DYNAMIC DEBUG COMPILATION

Set compilation debug="true" to enable ASPX debugging. Otherwise, setting
this value to

false will improve runtime performance of this application.

Set compilation debug="true" to insert debugging symbols (.pdb information)

into the compiled page. Because this creates a larger file that executes

more slowly, you should set this value to true only when debugging and to

false at all other times. For more information, refer to the documentation
about

debugging ASP.NET files.

-->

<compilation

defaultLanguage="c#"

debug="true"

/>

<!-- CUSTOM ERROR MESSAGES

Set customErrors mode="On" or "RemoteOnly" to enable custom error messages,
"Off" to disable.

Add <error> tags for each of the errors you want to handle.

"On" Always display custom (friendly) messages.

"Off" Always display detailed ASP.NET error information.

"RemoteOnly" Display custom (friendly) messages only to users not running

on the local Web server. This setting is recommended for security purposes,
so

that you do not display application detail information to remote clients.

-->

<customErrors

mode="RemoteOnly"

/>

<!-- AUTHENTICATION

This section sets the authentication policies of the application. Possible
modes are "Windows",

"Forms", "Passport" and "None"

"None" No authentication is performed.

"Windows" IIS performs authentication (Basic, Digest, or Integrated Windows)
according to

its settings for the application. Anonymous access must be disabled in IIS.

"Forms" You provide a custom form (Web page) for users to enter their
credentials, and then

you authenticate them in your application. A user credential token is stored
in a cookie.

"Passport" Authentication is performed via a centralized authentication
service provided

by Microsoft that offers a single logon and core profile services for member
sites.

-->

<authentication mode="Forms">

<forms name=".COOKIEDEMO"

loginUrl="register.aspx?tab=register"

protection="All"

timeout="30"

path="/"/>

</authentication>

<!-- AUTHORIZATION

This section sets the authorization policies of the application. You can
allow or deny access

to application resources by user or role. Wildcards: "*" mean everyone, "?"
means anonymous

(unauthenticated) users.

-->

<authorization>

<deny users="?" />

<!-- Allow all users -->

<!-- <allow users="[comma separated list of users]"

roles="[comma separated list of roles]"/>

<deny users="[comma separated list of users]"

roles="[comma separated list of roles]"/>

<allow users="*" />

-->

</authorization>

<!-- APPLICATION-LEVEL TRACE LOGGING

Application-level tracing enables trace log output for every page within an
application.

Set trace enabled="true" to enable application trace logging. If
pageOutput="true", the

trace information will be displayed at the bottom of each page. Otherwise,
you can view the

application trace log by browsing the "trace.axd" page from your web
application

root.

-->

<trace

enabled="false"

requestLimit="10"

pageOutput="false"

traceMode="SortByTime"

localOnly="true"

/>

<!-- SESSION STATE SETTINGS

By default ASP.NET uses cookies to identify which requests belong to a
particular session.

If cookies are not available, a session can be tracked by adding a session
identifier to the URL.

To disable cookies, set sessionState cookieless="true".

-->

<sessionState

mode="InProc"

stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"

sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes"

cookieless="false"

timeout="20"

/>

<!-- GLOBALIZATION

This section sets the globalization settings of the application.

-->

<globalization

requestEncoding="utf-8"

responseEncoding="utf-8"

/>

</system.web>

<location path="Password.aspx">

<authorization>

<allow users="*" />

</authorization>

</location>
