No need for password - - -

[Ken]

XP Pro SP 2

What's the command to bring up the dialog to allow services to run without a
password? Can't remember it.

This is to allow certain Scheduled Tasks to run without generating the error
that no password was entered.

Many thanks.
Ken

I recommend you choose a password, but you don't have to. Go to start/run, and type 'control userpasswords2' , Uncheck the password
option, and follow the wizard. This will log you on automatically, without asking for the password

Hi Ken,

Give this a try:

Administrative Tools>Local Security Policy
In the right-hand pane, double-click on "Accounts: Limit local account use
of blank passwords to console logon only" (should be the third item from the
top), click in the radio button beside Disabled, then click on Apply then
OK. Close the Local Security Settings window. See if Scheduled Tasks will
now run without generating the "no password" error.
