I now have a ASP.NET Machine Account user on my windows log in. It is password protected along with my account being password protected (which it never was before)

Now that this is on there and I have NO idea what the password is, I can't log onto windows to delete the account. Anyone have any ideas on what I should do? I thank you in advance.

You can't login to the ASP.NET Machine Account. I don't know quiet why but its an Internal Account Like Help & Support and other accounts.

You can Remove the Account if you like but i'm not to sure what will happen.

To view every accound on the computer: Go to Start> Run & Type> Control userpasswords2. This is Advanced Account Managment and you shouldn't use it if you don't know what your doing.

I would feel comfortable removing the account, but I can't even log onto windows. That account and mine now have passwords assigned to them (never had a password on the computer before) and I don't know what that password is. I have been on Microsoft tech support and naturally they are no help.

I CAN NOT access my control panel at all. When I turn the computer on, I get the Windows Log on screen. It lists two accounts.

1. ASP.NET Machine account (with password assigned)

2. My Account (with password assigned)

Let me stress, that I have never had a password on my computer so I don't know the password to either account. So how do I bypass this screen to even get to the control panel to delete the asp.net account?

I found a help article on the internet that had me put in the windows xp cd and then at one point hit shift+f10 that was supposed to allow me to acess my control panel...the steps all worked until I tried accessign the control panel and it said "User account not recognized".

I am so frustrated. Thank you all for your help thus far.

vogler333 do you have the default Admin account still?

if you do, do this

at the Welcome Screen press CTRL + ALT + DELETE together. The classic Login will appear type Administrator and Administration And if you havnt changed that password it will login in :).

Plus you should have made a Password Reset Disk ;)

If you Can't do that your pretty much locked out of your comptuer as the other 3 accounts on your computer are Disabled and these are Called Guest and Help assistant and SUPPORT_388945a0. And yes if you are wondering these are accounts your to not play with well the last 2 anyway.

    • As much as I like the push towards Wayland (is Gnome still bickering about window decorations and "you are doing it wrong"ing rest of the industry?) but as an admin, the fact that the FreeRDP (because VNC is dead) implementation is not functional yet is really annoying, as that is what RHEL10, and Debian13, will be stuck with for the next 3-8 years.

    • Linus Torvalds releases a pretty ordinary Linux 6.16-rc3 by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds, the head and founder of the Linux kernel, has announced the release of Linux 6.16-rc3. This release comes with fixes for new features that were introduced during the merge window several weeks ago, and for old features where issues have been detected or improvements need to be made. If you remember last week, Torvalds said that rc2 seemed smaller than usual, putting it down to people going on vacation. He said this week’s rc3 seems to be in the usual ballpark for this time of the cycle, so everything looks “entirely normal.” In terms of changes, this release is “dominated” by wireless networking and GPU driver updates, however, Torvalds doesn’t think that anything really huge stands out this time. While nothing stands out Torvalds urged people to carry on testing and submitting patches. This update saw improvements to the core system and architecture. There have been improvements to ARM64 KVM that improve stability and correctness of virtualizations on ARM64. There are also improvements to RISC-V KVM and Trust Domain Extensions (TDX) for Intel which expand and secure virtualization capabilities on those architectures. On the graphics front, there are fixes for the amdgpu and amdkfd drivers that fix job handling, engine resets, display corruption, and power management features. The driver used for Qualcomm’s Adreno GPUs has been updated to improve fault handling, display timing, and driver binding. The open-source Nouveau (Nvidia) driver has been updated with fixes for GSP message queue references, potential integer overflows, buffer size adjustments, and a use-after-free bug. Finally, the Intel i915 driver has been updated to address early wedge issues, memory initializations, and build errors. There are also improvements to Wi-Fi devices (ath12k and iwlwifi), sound (ALSA), power management on AMD, and file system improvements (OverlayFS, EROFS, XFS, NFS, SunRPC). Linux 6.16 is due for release at the end of July and will then be picked up by Linux distributions, which will be the first interaction most end users have with the new features in this update. The main benefit of a newer kernel is that Linux will work on newer hardware, so if you’ve had issues with Linux, be sure to try it periodically in case your hardware is now supported.
