ASP.NET Cookies weird error

On my site i did "remember me" once login on my admin account, and than i did logout(It deletes cookie once you logout) and i wanted to enter with another account and checking " remember me", and i get this error:

Unable to cast object of type 'System.Web.HttpCookie' to type 'System.String'.

I think it input some weird thing on my Session but i have no idea why..

What i have tried already: I have tried already everything, and i have no idea why it doesn't work.

Anyone know how to fix? Thanks.

here code:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        if (Request.Cookies["account"] != null)
        {
            Session["user2"] = Request.Cookies["userFont"];
            Session["user"] = Request.Cookies["account"];
        }

        if (Session["user"] == null)
        {
            Session["user2"] = "Guest";
            hey = (string)Session["user2"];
            log += "You are not logged in, <a href='Login.aspx'><font color='red'>Log in!</font></a> or <a href='Register.aspx'><font color='red'>Register!</font></a> ";
            button += "<td><a href='Login.aspx' class='button'>Log in</a></td>";
        }
        else
        {
            hi = (string)Session["user"];
          hey = "<a href='\\Profile.aspx?user="+hi+"'>" + Session["user2"] + "</a>";
            button += "<td><a href='Login.aspx' class='button'>Log out</a></td>";
        }

i am getting error on:

hi = (string)Session["user"];

This here Session["user"] = Request.Cookies["account"]; sets a cookie not a string. Use ((HttpCookie)Session["user"]).Value; to get your string back from the Cookie.
