Suddenly there is an asp.net machine account on my login page, and I can not
log into my computer at all. I never had a password set for my own account,
and now the settings won't allow interactive logon. .Net password does not
work either. I hope somebody has an answer other than reformat.

You don't understand something, so you decide it has "hijacked" your
computer. Interesting approach.

The asp.net user was created when you first installed the .Net Framework
(from either Windows Update or an application you installed that requires
it.) It's not really a user account - it's used by .Net developers. The rest
of us can simply ignore it. The account does not have a password.

Your logon problems aren't related to .Net. Possibly due to something you
tried to do to prevent your computer from being "hijacked" by a part of the
operating system.

Can you login if you leave the password blank?
