This error message on Windows 2003 Server:
HTTP Error 401.1 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.

This problem can be cleared up by resetting the password for the IUSR account (Control Panel > Administration > Computer Management > Local Users) and then putting that same password into the dialog in IIS Manager under Directory Security > Authentication and Access Control > [x] Enable Anonymous Access.
