I don't know the password that you have to put to
schedule a task on my computer. I've tried everything to
find it out but I can't. Will someone please help me
solve my problem. Please email me with

Hi Michael,

You use the same password as you do for the logon that you are running it
from, or possibly your Admin password. No passwords are set by default, you
must choose them.

In addition to Rick's comments, you can remove the need to have logged
in with a password in order to run scheduler. For XP Home Go to
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
and look on Line 67 (left) for the reg file to 'run Scheduled tasks
without PW'

If it is Pro, go to Control Panel - Admin Tools - Local Security policy
and in Local Policies - Security Options, double click the third line
Accounts - Limit local account use of blank password. . .' and set it to
Disabled
