Task Scheduler

[Lynn W]

I wanted to add a scheduled task, it was for System Restore to create a
restore point weekly. The wizard started and took me through the steps
which was fine until I got to the screen where it stated a Username and then
asked for a password. I do not have a password set up as I am the only
user. It stated that the task may not run if there is no password entered.
Is there any way of setting a task without a password when there is only one
user set up on the computer who is obviously an Administrator.
