Marc, welcome to these public User Forums.

If you are just wanting to delete the ATI 2018 backup task from the main ATI GUI panel but are being stopped because the task is password protected, then you can do this as follows:

  1. Turn off Acronis Active Protection if this is active.
  2. Make a note of the task name that you want to remove.
  3. Close the ATI application.
  4. Open Explorer and navigate to C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts
  5. In the Scripts folder you will see files with the extension .tib.tis - these are XML text files that can be opened in Notepad.
  6. Open each .tib.tis file in Notepad until you find the one which shows your task name in the form of <display>backup_name</display>
  7. Close the .tib.tis file in Notepad, then move that file to another folder on your PC.

After moving the task .tib.tis make a note of the long name of this file which will look similar to 0AEAD7F2-8576-46BF-BDB7-02AE8B69215D.tib.tib.tis

Next, you need to remove any reference to that file from the Acronis Scheduler.

Download the Acronis Scheduler Manager tool from the link in my signature, then run this tool as Administrator.  This will open a black command style window.

Type the command:  get list
This will show a list of all scheduled Acronis tasks.

Look for your task file name in the list and make a note of the number shown for this, i.e. 1-2 for my .tib.tis file example.

Type the command: task 1-2    (using the number for your own task identifier)

Finally, type the command: task delete  to remove that scheduled task.
