Forgot the Image Password

Thread needs solution

Hello Axel,

Welcome to our forum and thank you for posting. I will certainly help you with this question.

If a password has been set for a backup archive and is now lost or forgotten, then there is no way to retrieve or disable it. There is also an option to set a password for Acronis Secure Zone. Once this password is lost or forgotten, it cannot be retrieved either.

If you need additional help or have any other questions, please let me know.

Thank you.

I have forgotten my password for scheduled tasks. Its in and back up works fine each time it should. But as its blanked out i cannot copy it to use in a scheduled validation that i would like to run. Validation has to be an unscheduled task. Is there anyway i can findout what the password is or reset it.

thanks
brian

Hello Brian,

Thank you for posting. I will definitely help you with this issue.

You will need to enter the password that you use for your Windows user. I would recommend this article, please navigate to the Reschedule or edit the task with the correct credentials: part and expand it, this example will show you how to change the scheduled task password.

I am not sure which OS you are using, but in Windows XP you can reset your user password this way.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you.
