aspnet_regiis

[amitavabardhan]

I don't know if this is the right forum for me to post my question but I just
hope somebody answers my question.

Is there any way that I can retrieve the password of the aspnet account. I
know that the password is machine generated but is there any method to
retrieve the password?

Can I change the password manually in the machine.config file? If so what
can be the implications of this? One thing for sure is that I know manually
changing the password will not synchronize the password with the IIS metabase
but can aspnet_regiis with the i switch be used to do this synchronisation?

Or for that matter does aspnet_regiis -i utility change the password for the
aspnet account and synchronize it with the metabase?

Too many questions!!!! but just hope somebody have answers for it...
