[Help] Runas Not Working

[HyperHacker]

This is a freshly-installed WinXP SP2 system. I'm trying to use Runas to start programs in a restricted account, but when I do, it asks for the password even though the account doesn't have one. Anything I enter it just says invalid password. Also, is there a way to have a specific program (Firefox in this case) always run in a limited account, instead of just changing the shortcuts? Some program that can replace the .exe and launch it in a limited account? I've noticed too that Runas doesn't seem to allow parameters to be passed to the program, which is a bit of a problem.

try adding a password 2 the account, u can even use the spacebar as a password

it may be comming up with an error because it expects a password, if it doesnt work still try a letter like 'a' for a password

No good. I set the password to "a" and it still won't take it.
