Just change the XPath statement to the node in question.
XmlDocument doc = New XmlDocument();
doc.load(Server.Mappath("web.config"));
XmlAttribute userPass =
(XmlAttribute)doc.SelectSingleNode("configuration/system.web/authentication/
credentials/user[@name='Bob']/@password");
userPass.NodeValue = "imbatman";
Note also that each directory can have its own web.config file, so if you
want to edit the web.config in the parent directory, change the parameter
for Server.Mappath to use a relative directory path.
