Hi,

Even though you have no password for your login, you should have a password
for the Administrator account. If not, setup a password on the built in
Administrator account and use that for the login and password for your
scheduled task. Also, its not safe to not use a password, you can setup the
computer to automatically log you on with a password if don`t want to type
in a password each time you start your computer. Plus you really should at
least set a password for the built in administrator account.
