</html>


===== Cause =====
<html>
Even for a Windows computer with no password setup, a password is required if the pre-define backup sources (e.g. Desktop, Documents, Favorites, Outlook, Windows Live Mail) are selected as backup source.

===== Resolution =====
<html>
To resolve the issue, un-select all pre-define backup sources.
<br>
<br>
Manually select the corresponding folder and files afterward, by selecting <b>I would like to choose the files to backup</b>, then <b>Show files</b>.  Select the corresponding directory path (e.g. C:\Users\username\Desktop).
