I want to protect just the Admin page of my site but my code protects all pages.
What changes should I make to my code?

What I have tried:

system.web>
      <authentication mode="Forms">
        <forms name="SavingsPlan" defaultUrl="admin.aspx" loginUrl="Login.aspx" >
          <credentials passwordFormat="SHA1">
            <user name="Admin"
                  password="07B7F3EE06F278DB966BE960E7CBBD103DF30CA6"/>
            <user name="User"
                  password="BA56E5E0366D003E98EA1C7F04ABF8FCB3753889"/>
          </credentials>
        
        </forms>
        
      </authentication>
   <authorization>
     <allow users="Admin"/>
     <deny users="?"/>
   </authorization>

To specify configuration which only applies to a specific file, use the <location> element:
location Element (ASP.NET Settings Schema)[^]

XML

<system.web>
    <authentication mode="Forms">
        ...
    </authentication>
</system.web>

<location path="admin.aspx">
    <system.web>
        <authorization>
            <allow users="Admin"/>
            <deny users="?"/>
        </authorization>
    </system.web>
</location>
