How can we find out the deafult password of IUSR_MACHINE account used inIIS

How can we find out the deafult password of IUSR_MACHINE.

Bascially in one of our website in IIS Manager in virtual directory for
testing I used domin account(instead of default IUSR_machinename ) in
authentication and access control section of directory Securuty Tab.

Now I would again like to switch back to default IIS user <
IUSR_machinename> for the anonymous account. But I don't know it password
Is there anyway to find out this?


Thanks

Do the following:

# copy c:\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs
c:\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil_changed.vbs
# notepad c:\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil_changed.vbs
(on line 2592 change from "TRUE" to "FALSE")
# cscript c:\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil_changed.vbs get
w3svc/anonymoususerpass
# del c:\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil_changed.vbs

NOTE: Same goes for "w3svc/wamuserpass"
