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.

The Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X are launching during the 2025 holiday season. Pricing details, accessories, and pre-order information will be coming later.
    • As I've said: right now Edge is better at blocking ads than Chrome, and I'll look for another browser when it changes.
    • It gave OEMs all kinds of stuff to put effort into that did nothing about bad drivers that crashed the system.
    • Yes, because Google's ad platform dominates the internet and most sites use Google's ad platform. Microsoft cares about their own ad platform. And they whitelist their ads. Edge is still on mv2 on desktop but they have officially announced they will stop supporting it. They haven't announced the date, but it is on their roadmap. Microsoft HAS the resources to keep it, but they have announced they will remove it unlike other chromium based browsers like Brave and Opera which have announced they will try to keep it. They postponing it in an attempt maybe to gain some market share from Chrome, but their end goal is the same, the deprecation of mv2. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/extensions-chromium/developer-guide/manifest-v3#manifest-timeline-for-microsoft-edge-and-partner-center
    • I'll say this again:  This hasn't changed since Windows 10.  This customization issue is not unique to Windows 11.   Windows 10 was released about 10 years ago.  I didn't look at changing default fonts in Windows 8 or 7.  Most (sane) people would look for supportability -- you might have the desired customization in those OSs but not able to play games, apps, that one typically gets the OS for.  No one is going to trade off getting an ancient OS just so they can have larger fonts but not be able to play games or run apps.   There are many options that are not exposed in the default UI because they have a lot more potential harm than benefit.  Doesn't mean they don't exist.  Hence, registry changes. "What's the harm by leaving it in Settings?"  Imagine if you changed the default font to something unreadable.  How would you change it back if you can't read anything?  The settings UI allows one to change size and style, but not font, so you'd still be able to read it.  Changing the font itself to Wingdings might render an OS unusable. Now YOU might be savvy enough to make that change and/or undo it, but that's why it's not exposed in simplistic UI and instead is moved to registry changes. Your 3rd party app is most likely causing conflict with the registry as it wants to make its own changes.  It's not voodoo magic here, that's typically what these apps do.  I'd bet you a beer if I spin up a new VM for Windows 11 and try my links above with no Winaero Tweaker it'd work just fine.  Introduction of 3rd party apps is always suspect -- who knows what else it's doing.
