The scheduled task did not run because no user account password was entered
Back
Question: I set up Web2Disk to download one or more sites daily, but the
status of this task reads "The scheduled task did not run because no
user account password was entered"...how do I fix this?
Answer: Windows XP will not allow you to run a scheduled task under an account
with no password. There are two solutions to this problem. The first is
to assign the account in question a password. The second is to change
the Windows security settings to disable this security feature as
follows:
For Windows XP Profession users: Go to
Start/Administrative Tools/'Local Security Policy/Security
Settings\Local Policies\Security Options Accounts: Limit local account
use of blank passwords to console logon only. This is enabled by
default, disable it.
For Windows XP Home users: Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
Change the key named 'limitblankpassworduse' (Type: REG_DWORD) to 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled).
