Hi,
I work at a company that forces me to change my login password on my computer every so many days. The problem is that I have a number of scheduled tasks tied to my user account. After I change my login password, the tasks don't run until I change the password for those tasks. A lot of these are for backing up data.

currently, I have a batch file that has a bunch of tasks..

schtasks /change /tn "backup this" /rp password
schtasks /change /tn "do this" /rp password

there's a bunch of those, and i just have to quick replace the password after the /rp.
What I"m looking for, is a script or batch file or something that would ask me to input my password, and it would change the password field in the schtasks.

does anyone know a script for this?

I also need to add that editing the registry to allow blank passwords would get me in trouble. so no limitblankpassworduse or anything like that....

Surely its far quicker to maintain two or three sets of passwords and rotate them and the passwords as and when?
