Scheduled tasks and passwords

Yesterday I set up a series of nightly backup tasks using NTBACKUP and when I checked this morning, this morning's hadn't run. I tried to manually kick it off, but no joy there either.

When I looked later, it said "The scheduled task did not run because no user account password was entered".

I checked the properties box for the task and under Run As, it has my account...but my account doesn't HAVE a password.

Any ideas anyone?

===

wtf? I set up another account and gave the account a password. I then changed the task to use that account and provided that password and it worked

Do I HAVE to use a password protected account to run a scheduled task?
