Answer 1

You need to put it between the main configuration elements:

<configuration>
    <!--You have other configuration elements here-->

    <location path="passwordrecovery.aspx">
       <system.web>
           <authorization>
               <allow users="*"/>
           </authorization>
        </system.web>
    </location>
</configuration>

Just don’t forget to accept an answer from your original question.

UPDATE

It is important to note that the above assumes that the passwordrecovery.aspx file is located in the same location as the web.config file that contains that above configuration. If the passwordrecovery.aspx file is located somewhere else, you will need to change the path attribute.

So, assuming the web.config is in the root of your site, and the passwordrecovery.aspx file is in the folder /Presentation/Display then you will need to update the code as follows:

<configuration>
    <!--You have other configuration elements here-->

    <location path="Presentation/Display/passwordrecovery.aspx">
       <system.web>
           <authorization>
               <allow users="*"/>
           </authorization>
        </system.web>
    </location>
</configuration>

Another alternative is to keep the original configuration provided, but create it in a new web.config file that is located in the same folder as the passwordreovery.aspx file.
