Are you logging in with a user ID that is a domain admin or a local administrator account?<br />
<br />
Did you log off and log back on? Have you checked the time sync of the servers with the DC(s)?<br />

For future reference:<br />

Unless you need resources that are off the server, just create a scheduled task using the System account. That way you never have to worry about passwords.

I had to reset my Windows password today and after doing so I went to 3 different servers (2 are Windows 2003 Standard R2 64-bit and 1 is Windows 2003 Standard 32-bit) and when I try to update the password on my Scheduled Tasks I get the message &quot;An error has occurred while attempting to set task account information. &nbsp;The specific error is: 0x80070005: Access is denied. &nbsp;You do not have permission to perform the requested operation.&quot; &nbsp;I checked Google and found several things to try to have not had any luck.<br />
<br />
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Can't edit or create new Task in Task Scheduler

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
