Password Recovery form page...

I am sure this is simple, but I can't find any documentation on using FORM
Authentication and creating an account info recovery page that will not
automatically redirect to the login page...

In other words. 
1.  User Can't remember password or user name.
2.  They click link on login page (recover account info)
3.  Sent to recoverinfo.aspx page..
4.  Enters answer to questions and info is email to them..

I created the page, but since the user is not authenticated it automatically
sends them to the login.aspx page... I need to override the isauthenticated
method so they can recover their account data...

This should be simple, one would think....

Have you tried adding a location element to your web.config file to specify
that anonymous users are allowed to use the recoverinfo.aspx page?  (See

for an example.)

Ah, yes...  That worked like a charm...  I know I had read that before, just
could not remember it...

Thanks Nicole, you rock!  :)
