getting user name and password for windows task creation

Hello:

I'm using a C# component to manage windows tasks. It allows task
creation providing an account name and password. The operating system
will only execute the task if the account information for the task is
complete and correct (the user exists and its password is provided).
It's quite easy to programmaticaly get the current user's name for the
account executing the application; but, how do some applications (such
as Norton System Works) to create windows tasks with my user name and
password? I don´t want to have access to a user's password; just to
get a way to pass it to the task I´m creating.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Regards, Juanma.
