Membership system in ASP.net

Question

I'm going to use the membership system in ASP.net, but need to change it in 2 ways. The database which stores the users is Access, and I want to salt the password(etc) plus ask the user to enter details like links to their facebook pages etc which are stored in the database.

So how do I use access with the system?

And how can I change/add fields which are stored in the database (i know how to create them in the database btw, just how I get the membership system to ask for it and store it)

(I could make my own registration/user login system, except I don't know how to restrict access to pages, so how could I go about this?)

Links to tutorials/references would be great
