Base on my research, I found this could happen if the SQL Server service is running under the Local System account for one instance and another SQL service on the same server is running under a domain administrator account. Refer to the below posts. I would also suggest asking in SQL Server Backup forum on how to change the credential the SQL services run on.

I don't even think that a default instance was installed.
In short your answer did not solve the problem.
