When creating a file backup set for a Windows computer with no password setup, the following error message is displayed:
"Blank password is not allowed because of an account restriction. Please set a password for your account."
Even for a Windows computer with no password setup, a password is required if certain pre-defined backup sources are selected as backup sources, such as but not limited to:
- Desktop
- Documents
- Favorites
- Outlook
- Windows Live Mail
To resolve the issue:
- Unselect all pre-defined backup sources.
- Select I would like to choose the files to backup.
- Tick off the checkbox for Show Files.
- Manually select the corresponding folder and files.
(e.g. C:\Users\username\Desktop)
