    Password Retrieval


    I am able to auto-logon on to my W7 so I never see the password. I am adding a task to the system scheduler and to complete the task. I am asked for the password. I type in what I thought it was but I get an error that I have the incorrect user name or password. The user name is WILLIAM, the one I log in with so I must have the incorrect password. Have tried possible iterations but still won't work.
    Is there any way to retrieve the password?
    How?

    As a test, maybe try setting a password to your account and see if that works

    Maybe you never set a password. Try just hitting enter when i asks for one.

    I finally used the Tutorial by "Bare Foot Kid" and solved the problem.
