I installed windows xp set it for one account and input
the password i wanted , Finished installing xp and used
windows update , Turned off the welcome screen and went
into users and noticed that there was another user i did
not create called asp.net or something like that , So i
deleted it and kept the files for the account, After
doing this i restarted and tryed to input my password for
the account i made while installing xp , It said the
password was incorrect , So i tryed no password at all
and still nothing , So i restarted again and tryed my
password a second time , Still nothing , So i tryed no
password and it let me in finally , I made a password for
my account because it said there was no password , Why
would it be doing this and why was that account there
that i did not create? Please reply asap.

Not sure what caused the password problem, but the asp.net account is part
of the .Net Framework update that you downloaded from the Windows Update
website.

What is the ASP.NET Machine Account?

Thanks a lot , It was driving me nuts lol , But i think i
may know why the password was doing what it was , It had
autologin , I'm not to sure what it's called but at the
welcome screen i just clicked on purify and it let me in
and didn't ask for a password.
 
Also i turned off fast user switching , And the welcome
screen and now when i go to start there is no pic at the
top , I know it's not much but how do i get the pic to
show ? It just shows my name but no pic . Also was it ok
to delete that asp.net account and save the files? Thank
you for your last reply.

You can delete the account and the files without doing any harm unless you
plan on using the asp.net programming module.

For the picture problem, go to MVP Kellys website and get the following fix.


Restore User Default Pictures (Line 54)

I just had one more question about the password problem ,
Could any of the updates , Or any program i installed
effect the password to change to no password? Thanks for
all your help.Kyle

Doubtful, but this would be difficult to track down.

Are you using the Welcome screen when you log onto XP? If not, this may be
the problem Go to Control Panel/User Accounts. Select the "Change the way
users log on or off" option
and enable the Welcome Screen.

If no joy, go to Start/Run and type: regsvr32 shimgvw.dll and press OK.
