won't run due to a password problem

The full AISBackup version number: 2.0.0.236

The Windows version number and patch level: Windows XP SP2

The backup source and destination:
source: a directory on my C: drive
destination: a directory on a second internal hard drive.

I have discovered that AISBackUp stopped doing my daily backup about two months ago (without any kind of message). When I view Windows Scheduler, I see the following message by AISBackup "The scheduled task did not run because an incorrect password or username was entered."

I do not use a password to log on at boot-up, nor do I use a password with AISBackup. However, about when the backups stopped (two months ago) is about when I changed my Windows log on procedure from entering a password, to not needing a password.

How can I get my daily backups to resume?

Thanks,
Brook Norton

The latest version of AISBackup can be set to run without a Windows Password. This facility was always in Windows Task Scheduler but only became 'visible' to us in XP Service Pack 2. (We used to insist on a password because we did not know any better)

You may use the Manage Backup / Auto Run Job option to replace the current schedule.
