Follow Up to Error Scheduling Tasks

[Guest HankL]

My wife and I are the only persons using this computer. I am the

Adminsitrator.

I never entered a password in the User when I originally setup the computer.

It boots up entirely without asking for a User Name or Password.

 

I have put in other Scheduled Tasks in the past with a particular password

and it always worked. I understand after a period of time, Windows no

longer recognizes a password.

 

Is there any other way you could suggest to find the password I used in

Scheduled Task and change the existing password if there is one?

Windows defaults to password expires, IF you actually enter a password, if

you have never done that, on your user account only, then there shouldn't be

a expire period.

 

someone has to have entered a password on scheduling tasks, else it wouldn't

be asking for one. how bout this delete the scheduled task and that should

take care of the problem

Re: Follow Up to Error Scheduling Tasks

 

Just because your PC boots up without a password challenge

does not mean that it uses a blank password. The password

might be supplied by an automatic mechanism.

 

Instead of worrying about an unknown password used for

scheduled tasks, why not resolve the issue simply and permanently?

Create a dedicated account to be used for all scheduled tasks,

give it administrative privileges and keep a reliable record of

the password you used! Problem solved, end of story!
