    Vista Backup & Restore

    My equipment:
    Laptop connected wireless to a router.
    Desktop connected to same router with Ethernet cable.
    Seagate external HDD, connected to the desktop with a USB 2 connection.

    I'm trying to use Vista Backup & Restore to backup the laptop to the
    external HDD.
    When I try to set it up, the program finds the disk alright. But then it
    asks for a user & password. What user & password? I tried with all the PW's
    and users I have on the two computers, but nothing works. I can't get by
    this so I'm stuck here, please help!

    PS. On the desktop it runs just great.

    Is the app not asking you to create a new password
    for this backup alone ?
