# Hyperlink not navigating to the predefined URL in asp.net

I have a hyperlink that does not navigate to the set URL. It is dead [simple](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/story/1469/5-simple-ways-to-stay-fit-amp-healthy) I have no idea what is wrong. The [link](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23633/link-builder) in my [aspx page](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/218/how-do-i-create-an-aspx-page-that-periodically-refreshes-itself):

```
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLinkLostPass"runat="server"     Text="Forgot username or password?" NavigateUrl="~/test.aspx"
Target="_self">   
</asp:HyperLink>
```

Hi Chintoo, \

You can solve this by adding the following to your web.config file:

```
  <location path="test.aspx">    <system.web>     
<authorization>        <allow users="*"/>     
</authorization>   
</system.web>  </location>
```
