In case any other internet wayfarers come by this problem; it's highly likely that this is due to the app-pool user being given the "Act as system" privilege in the Central Admin User Policy for the webapplication.

Probably one day we you enter the credentials you check the box to memorize it. To change this, on your computer go in Control Panel > User Accounts > Manage Windows Credentials. Then in the list look up for your server and the credentials that are set and delete them.

On the next prompt to SharePoint website you should be able to specify your own credentials and memorize them.

    I have got my answer. If your account by which you logged in to the WEB is account of your application pool then it will display it as System Account. Central Admin -> Security -> Configure Service Accounts.. From here you can change it.

  • Best Practice Here: You should NOT interactively log into SharePoint with any service account. If properly configured, even troubleshooting access using interactive logins for the service account is never needed. Look at deeper issues here and ask why you are using that Service Account.

Go to "log out" option or "Sign in as Different User", I think you have the information registered in your browser

  • Go to "internet option" -> "general" -> "delete...". Do you use your system as Administrator or the user of the application pool?

    So the problem is that... If you try to login in your pc with another user, IE will use that user to login you in SP
