My wife and I are the only persons using this computer. I am the
Adminsitrator.
I never entered a password in the User when I originally setup the computer.
It boots up entirely without asking for a User Name or Password.
I have put in other Scheduled Tasks in the past with a particular password
and it always worked. I understand after a period of time, Windows no
longer recognizes a password.
Is there any other way you could suggest to find the password I used in
Scheduled Task and change the existing password if there is one?
