Did you consider posting your code ? What makes you think your website would not ask for a login ?

I believe you are talking of a username/password prompt that you get on your remote machine. If so, it is because of the browser setting.

IE has an option to use the logged in user's username-password to login into a webpage. Following setting does this:

For IE: Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Local Intranet -> Custom Level (Security settings) -> User Authentication -> Logon -> "Automatic Logon with current username & password"

If you are saying something else then you need to elaborate more.

Even it prompts for login, i entered valid credentials but it fails and give unauthenticated users.
Login prompt window contains following warning message:
Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).
It is for Basic authentication but i configured my application with windows authentication.

It was asking windows authentication login screen two days before and it was working fine.
Problem started from yesterday after restoring database.

You should add these in your question from before. Posting half cooked question is never good.

Check if the IIS is configured for windows authentication or not. Connection string uses true identity.
