Hi,

Create your own error page in htm or html or even asp if you want and follow
instructions below.

Open IIS MMC on server where you host your website. Now right click on the
site where your page is running and select Properties. Here click the
"Custom Errors" tab and scroll down to Error 401.2 which is the error that
you would get if you supply incorrect credentials. Click on this Error and
click Edit. Here enter the path to your own error page that you created in
first step (above).
