Can't seem to logout

Edit: Sorry, I had meant to post this in Beginning section.

During the Try-it-Out session which involves password recovery control, I notice when I request the login page, I'm already logged in to what appears to be my PC name?

It's been a couple weeks before I resumed this chapter. I try logging out and the postback does happen, but nothing changes. I remained logged in.

Cookies and cache are cleared, and I'm pretty sure three of my profile accounts I created don't include my PC name.

Hi there

there is a authentication config tag in the web.config file. by default it's set to :

HTML Code:

<authentication mode="Windows" />

so by default you are logged in by your system user. other valid values to 'mode' attribute are :Forms, Passport, None

Forms Authentication is the most appropriate method.

HTML Code:

<authentication mode="Forms" loginUrl="~/login.aspx" defaultUrl="~/default.aspx" />

LOGIN:
FormsAuthetication.SetAuthCookie(username, true/false);

first parameter is username and second one for persistent login.

LOGOUT:
FormsAuthetication.SignOut();

more information is available if you need it.
