I cannot login as the host or admin, or for that matter any user of the webpage.
I have a also have a DNN application that fetches ASP.NET usernames and passwords which also failed, i believe that these two problems are linked together. Here is the Exception i get from my DNN app...if anyone could shed some light on how to solve this problem it would be great :)
Thanks
