Assuming you have already re-created the accounts, you
will now need to tell IIS to use the new ones. Then you
will need to make sure IIS, COM+ and Windows all have the
same password stored for these user accounts.

It may be the case that IIS will still be looking for the
old user names and passwords. If that is the case, the
following link is a good place to start.

Good luck!
