hi,
seems like a problem with aspnet account. This problem might arise when
changing the privileges for the aspnet user or sometimes when trying to set
the password for the aspnet account(what some users say). Try resetting the
aspnet account by using aspnet_regiis with -i .
If you are using the webserver which is configured as the domain controller
then a fix can be found here
