<script runat="server">

{
    Login1.HelpPageText = "Help with logging in...";
    Login1.CreateUserText = "Create a new user...";
    Login1.PasswordRecoveryText = "Forgot your password?";
}
</script>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
    <head runat="server">
    <title>ASP.NET Example</title>
</head>
<body>
        <form id="form1" runat="server">
            <asp:Login id="Login1" runat="server" 
                CreateUserUrl="createUser.aspx" 
                HelpPageUrl="loginHelp.aspx" 
                PasswordRecoveryUrl="getPass.aspx" 
                OnLoginError="OnLoginError">
            </asp:Login>
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

Remarks

The LoginError event is raised when the credentials entered by the user are invalid. You can use the LoginError event to redirect the user to a custom error page, to offer additional help, or to log failed login attempts.
