I am trying to get task scheduler to perform a task, but it won't do it. It
consistently produces the following error:

0x8007007a: The data area passed to a system call is too small.

I have deleted the task and had it re-created automatically. I have also
created it manually, but each time, the task doesn't start and shows a
status of "Could not start." I have added a password to my logon, which is
an admin logon. I have put this same password in the task scheduler where a
password is required, but that produces the above error message. I viewed
the task scheduler log and found the source of the problem seems to be that
there isn't a password in the task scheduler security database. How do I
access this database?
