    You access them via their URL.

    http://servername/ _layouts/???.aspx

    You need administrator rights in most cases.

    Hi Abhilash,

    Here in SharePoint, you need to be authorized user of site (not only the machine) to access layout pages via browser.

    I would suggest that you please google about application and site pages, these would help in understanding the various types of pages in sharepoint and the way to use/manage it.

    Hello Sai,

    Has your ASPX page contains the code behind ? If so, where did you deploy... ?

    http 403 error is forbiddent. It means the url that you are using in browser to access the application pages does not have valid characters

    Like mike walsh mentioned, check the following url pattern to access your application pages.
    http://servername/ _layouts/???.aspx


    Once your url is right and if you don't have the access to the application page, you'll get access defined. Then you can sign-in and supply the credential that has access to the application page
