Please enter the run as password for DICK\Riley:

What do I enter at this prompt? I don't believe I have a password. If I do,
how can I find what it is? Also, what does 'run as password' mean?

Click Start/Help, then look for help on "runas" to see what it means.

Most tasks are best scheduled to run under an account other than
your normal account. Create such an account (e.g. "Scheduler"),
give it a password (compulsory!), then give it sufficient privileges
to access the folders it needs to access.

Using schtasks.exe implies advanced knowledge about such things.
If you're new to task scheduling then you'd be better off using the
Task Scheduler GUI in the Control Panel.

Actually, I was attempting to use schtasks.exe because I couldn't get the
Task Scheduler GUI to work. I finally discovered that I needed to create a
password. Once I did so, I have had no more problems with it.

Thanks for the help and info.
