Running A Scheduled Task

[John]

I am trying to run a Schedule Task but a message appears "The schedule Task
did not run because no user account password was entered" - I don't have a
password set on the PC for the User, I tried just tabbing through the
password fields i.e. blank password and running it again but same message.
The user that displaying on the machine is in the format USERNAME\Username

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
