ASP.NET machine account is administrator
I have a Windows 10 computer in which the "administrator" is the ASP.NET machine account.
This ASP.NET machine account prompts for a password when admin rights are needed (adding/removing programs, etc).
The ASP.NET machine account should never be the "administrator" so, obviously, something has gone wrong.
Since this password isn't known I'm wondering, realistically, what the options are.
Do we simply write off the machine and reinstall W10? How can I do that? This computer came with 8 and was upgraded.

McKnife... I'll look at this and report back.

Even without feedback, the question was somewhat resolved since we could identify the account as being just named aspnet (definitely created manually) and not being an account that dotnet components might have installed, so I would suggest my comment is the answer.
