ASP.NET 4.0 and C#

I’m using the default membership provider with the SqlExpress DB that the ASP.NET had created for me, but I want to modify some settings.

So I went to the web.config file to search for the <Membership> and <default provider> to change the settings there, but I didn’t find them!

I don’t want to create a new provider. I just want to modify the existing one. Where are the settings?

    Because it’s the default using default values.

    Below is an example. put it after <system.web>

    <membership>
        <providers>
            <clear/>
            <add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"
                connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer"
                enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
                enablePasswordReset="true"
                requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
                applicationName="/"
                requiresUniqueEmail="false"
                passwordFormat="Hashed"
                maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5"
                minRequiredPasswordLength="7"
                minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="1"
                passwordAttemptWindow="10"
                passwordStrengthRegularExpression=""                     
                type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
