This happens usually when you are logged in to Windows using a username/password but you didnt set a password in the Backup4all Scheduler. To enter the password for the scheduled job go to Tools->Schedulers, select the scheduled job that didnt run and click on Edit. In the window that opens click on Set password and enter the password for the current logged in user. We do not save your password but it is needed in order to set up the scheduled task in the Windows Task Scheduler. If your user account does not have a password you must select the Allow blank passwords when scheduling option from Tools->Options->Preferences. Also, make sure that you enter the correct password – if the password is wrong the scheduled task will not run.
