How to force log off for User.Identity.Name

My application is retrieving the wrong identity. It's taking my OS name rather than my web application user name. I've tried to set a new identity with the following code, but it still grabs my OS account name. 

If User.Identity.Name = "DOMAIN\Name" Then
        FormsAuthentication.SignOut()
        HttpContext.Current.User = New GenericPrincipal(New GenericIdentity(String.Empty), Nothing)
    End If

I would like to forcefully log off from User.Identity.Name because every time I boot, the name is wrong. Can I build my web application with the default name as null, until I login through the application?

I've tried to reboot my desktop, but the name still is taken from my OS identity. How can I make it stop!!!

Note: the way the user name was set, was I got a pop up that prompted me my user name and password for the OS account, but the website shouldn't do that. It was OS verification. Now I need that to be detached. 

<authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms loginUrl="login.aspx" defaultUrl="Welcome.aspx" cookieless="UseCookies" slidingExpiration="true" timeout="20" name=".Auth" protection="All">
  </forms>
</authentication>
