587820 2007-09-04 08:43:00 After an auto update (microsoft), I'm now unable to use my computer. On startup it defaults to a user 'ASP.NET Machine Account' and wants a password (of which I have no idea). Computer was previously setup with no password and admin only user (so on startup was going straight to desktop). WinXP pro SP2 op system with antivirus,firewall,using adaware (at least weekly). Hopefully I've explained the problem coherently :)
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

587821 2007-09-04 11:27:00 So have you tried booting in safe mode and seeing if your administrator privileges are still there? beeswax34 (63)
587822 2007-09-04 20:47:00 That's caused by installing some part of the .net framework, or an update (to .net).

As Beeswax said, boot in safe mode, go into the "Administrator' accout, and have a look in the user accout settings. Hopefully your old user account is still there somewhere, and you should be able to delete the .net asp one.

If your account isn't there, look in C:\Documents and Settings\*your user account name* and hopefully all your files are still there. Back them up, recreate your user account and you should be off smiling. :thumbs:

587824 2007-09-06 02:09:00 Cheers, if it's any consolation I'm feeling thick for not even having considered safe mode, I just wanted to break something. Jonom (12775)
587825 2007-09-06 07:02:00 when you create a new user account, it no longer lets you log on as administrator. Either delete the ASP account, or create a new user account (in safe mode) Greven (91)
