Windows 10: Task sheduler asks for password, but I disabled password log on in settings and disabled...

Long story short you can create a Microsoft account that does not require a password and that is 2 steps authentication only. I did that and disabled password log-on in settings to only have windows Hello.Now some legacy programs like task sheduler require a password. I tried using any older password I have and also leaving the field blank, but it outputs a wrong password error. How can I find the password it is asking for and where is it stored?

How to disable password at log on?

Hi Naveena,

To assist you better, I would like to know whether you are logging in with Microsoft account.

If you are using the Microsoft account to log in, I would like to inform you that it is not possible to sign into Windows without the password.

However, you may create a local account/user account and use that account to sign in, so that it will not ask you for the password when signing in.

I suggest you to refer to the article created by Andre da Costa
(MVP, Community Moderator & Wiki Author) and check if you are able to retrieve the files that are missing from the computer.

Once you have created a local account, Please follow the below steps, if you would like sign in to a user account without password.

• 
  Press Windows
  + R.
  
• 
  Type netplwiz.exe
  
• 
  Uncheck this box “Users must enter a username and password to use this computer” and press apply.
  
• 
  Automatically sign in password box prompts. Write your Password twice and press OK.
  

Let us know if you are able to sign in to Windows without password after following the below steps.. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.

Windows 10 - disable login passwords

How do I disable login passwords for all users on my desktop?

I have followed the many suggestions I've seen on-line but still have not been successful in disabling the log-in password for each user (2 of us); neither can I successfully disable the screen saver password. I'm really hating Windows 10.......should be
simpler......
