two possible locations for the database.

1. check the app_data folder of your website.
2. Check the SqlServers common folder where it keeps the databases. (should be somewhere under program files)

and as for the IIS question, publishing in IIS has nothing to with the Db access. If your connectionstring is proper than the DB access is possible even from development server (that is integrated with Visual studio)

Hi, May this help you to find the db file

Select the solution --->Click on the show all files icon--->Expand the App_Data Folder
The db file will be here..
And you can get the ConnectionString for this from the web.config file, which is used by the membership provider.

May this help you.

You can create text file inside your application.
you can set default UID & PASSWORD for login or
you can Create new user & user's information inside the TEXT File for login.
While login match the UID & PWD from TEXT file.........

No need to any database.
