How to deal with the password in Scheduled Tasks

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
My account in the WindowsXP Pro doesn't have a password(never created one). Now when I want to create the new Scheduled Tasks, it ask me for the user name and password to use with the task. Since I don't have any password in this account, I just put the user name and leave the password blank.
When I try to run this task, it told me that the task cannot run because the incorrect password or user name. I know it can be done in this way(without password) becasue I saw the tasks that created by Norton Utility can run with this account.
I can use Administrator account(with password/Run As), but it will run tasks completely in the background. It won't show any windows/process on the screen. I know this can be done because I saw task that created by Norton can do it, but I don't know how to create Scheduled Tasks on the User account that don't have password.
My question is what should I put in the password if I never have a password for this account? Special character? or what should I do? Anyone have any idea?

Thanks,

Oh yah, what's your username and what's your IP address? Cuz that's all I'd need to take full control of your computer. Hacker's heaven.

Tvegeta's user account rules:
set a password on all your accounts
disable the guest account
rename the Administrator account

That reminds me......I think I made a test acount on my computer the other day with no password. My bad....removing account..... Thanks for the reminder.
