Stunned with this "New User" Account!?

[Saurabhdua]

Hi Guys!!

After a long-2 time, I had an access to "User Accounts" under Control Panel. Stunned to observe a New Limited User A/c with the name---ASP.net Machine Account(Password protected)??!!

Where did this came from? What's its worth & what could be its PASSWORD?

Is it really necessary OR can I delete it from my Machine?

According to this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555299

ASP.NET Machine Account is created when the Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 is installed onto a Windows XP machine.

Nothing to be worried about. Moving over to Microsoft Windows.

Hey Dudeoxide!

I need ur assitance! With ref. to your suggested Microsoft Article, as soon I uncheck "Use Username & Password to use this system" (Run>>Control userpasswords2)& click OK, it comes up with a window with Username of Administrator & asking me to punch in Password(& its confirmation)!!??

Once I have unchecked that option, why does it again prompting me to enter something for Pwd?!

What should I finally do to REMOVE the ASP.Net account from my System?

No, don't remove it. It's part of Microsoft Framework 1.1.

As for control userpasswords2, uncheck the box and press OK. If it prompts for a password and you haven't set one, leave it blank and press OK.
