It seems you have something like in your web.config

In your AccountModels.cs file, you have:

public class UsersContext : DbContext
{
    public UsersContext()
        : base("DefaultConnectionForLocalDb")
    {
    }
}

However it should be this way:

public class UsersContext : DbContext
{
    public UsersContext()
        : base("DefaultConnectionForSQLEXPRESS")
    {
    }
}

Then you can remove safely DefaultConnectionForLocalDb entry from your web.config and ASPNETDB.MDF from to App_Data.
