Changing the account used by a service may create problems, so some research
ahead of time into the particular service would be a good idea.

The account used by a service is set in Computer Management, Services and
Applications, Services.
Right click the service you want to change, select Properties.
Select the Log On tab
select the This account radio button
key NETWORK SERVICE in the top box (or use Browse... to select it
make the Password and Confirm Password boxes empty (delete all the "."
characters)
click OK (or Apply)
