IIS FrontPage Virtual Sever Administration Site Administration : 401.1 for individual sites

iis security: W2K3 R2
IIS 6.0
FrontPage extensions 5.0.6790

I have installed and can use the FrontPage extensions (sites published
from FrontPage can see the extensions).
I have a Microsoft Sharepoint Administrator item in my Administrative
tools and in IIS.
I can open this page and do things like extending sites and upgrading
sites.

However when I want to administer an individual site I get a windows
login prompt asking for a username and password, and I really cannot
figure out what to put. After 3 tries I get a 401.1 error.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

I a working on a DC as a domain admin, in the same account I used to
install IIS (small test and self training system).

I can see no errors in my event logs.

You could look in the .ini file that the FPSE are using for their clues
as to what roles are granted. Locate those on disk (at your equiv of)
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Web Server
Extensions\50
under the W3svc folder for that site. Then make sure that the account
you attempt is both granted admin role and NTFS allowed on content.
