The problem is i set the password for ASPNET about 2 weeks ago and today i
encounter the problem server application unavailable, when i view the event log, i saw the following message
"aspnet_wp.exe could not be launched because the username and/or password
supplied in the processModel section of the config file are invalid."

so i am wondering if changing the passowrd of ASPNET cause the error?
Thanks

Be sure someone hasn't applied a policy that forces the ASPNET
password to change periodically. This can disable an account.

You don't change it in IIS. If you change the password using Administrative
Tools->Local Users & Groups in control panel, you must hardcode the password
in the machine.config in the processModel section.

I think you have to do an iisreset (or reboot the server) for the changes to
take effect. Maybe that is why it took 2 weeks before you started seeing a
problem???
