Hi all,
I have the below instructions for removing a password for a local
account.
I don't see the checkbox to uncheck use a password.
I just hear the user account, add and properties which doesn't
give the info listed below.
Think they may have changed things in the latest version of 10.
Open Run command.
In the Run dialog box, type
Netplwiz
press Enter.
You will be prompted with the User Accounts dialog, select your
user account first and then uncheck the option labelled Users must
enter a user
name and password to use this computer at the
top. Click Apply button to see Automatically sign in box.
On the "Automatically sign in box" confirm your credentials and
then click OK. Restart the computer and check.
be absolutely certain that you have entered the correct password
for the account in question. If you want
to be really safe you could create a second local account before
doing this so that you have a backup way to get into the system
should you fatFinger
your password.
There is also a good article outlining this option and a registry
hack (which I don't recommend) on tenforums entitled,
Sign in User Account Automatically at Windows 10 Startup.
You can totally remove the pin/password, which I really don't
advise doing.
To do that, go to control panel, then users.
The better method, for security sake in my opinion is to keep the
password, but just have it log you on automatically.
To do this, you can set it up through the auto logon dialog. To
get there, go to the run dialog with windows+R, then type in
control userpasswords2
Then hit enter.
This dialog should be quite self explanitory, but if you need
help, let us know. Be very very very careful when putting in your
password here for the
system to log you on. If you do this wrong, and you're the only
user account on the system, you'll lock yourself out forever more
unless you use hacking
tools to get yourself back in, but I won't go there for legality
reasons. The reason is, it'll be trying to put that mistyped
password in, and rejecting
it, thereby not giving you a chance to do anything more.
I have a friend who had Windows 7, and he did this very thing, and
oh! God, what a mess it was! We got him back in, but if I told
you how, I'd have to
kil ya. LOL!
The point is, be careful. As long as you are so though, you'll be
just fine, and it'll do exactly what you need it to do.

Adam, Since you already successfully got to the wizard, try doing this.
Keep pressing the TAB key until you get to the top of the wizard,
which are two tabs, it's right after the ok and cancel buttons. Your
probably on the first tab, the users tab. To check this, when your on
that tab press the RIGHT arrow key and you should be on the advanced
tab. Arrow left to go back to the users tab and if you press the TAB
key on your keyboard the very next thing is that checkbox. Or at
least that's where it's located on my screen.
HTH,
Blaster

Take care,

*Subject:* [win10] removing a password on local account?
Hi all,
I have the below instructions for removing a password for a local
account.
I don't see the checkbox to uncheck use a password.
I just hear the user account, add and properties which doesn't give the
info listed below.
Think they may have changed things in the latest version of 10.
Open Run command.
In the Run dialog box, type
Netplwiz
press Enter.
You will be prompted with the User Accounts dialog, select your user
account first and then uncheck the option labelled Users must enter a
user
name and password to use this computer at the top. Click Apply button
to
see Automatically sign in box.
On the "Automatically sign in box" confirm your credentials and then
click OK. Restart the computer and check.
be absolutely certain that you have entered the correct password for
the
account in question. If you want
to be really safe you could create a second local account before doing
this so that you have a backup way to get into the system should you
fatFinger
your password.
There is also a good article outlining this option and a registry hack
(which I don't recommend) on tenforums entitled,
Sign in User Account Automatically at Windows 10 Startup.
You can totally remove the pin/password, which I really don't advise
doing.
To do that, go to control panel, then users.
The better method, for security sake in my opinion is to keep the
password, but just have it log you on automatically.
To do this, you can set it up through the auto logon dialog. To get
there, go to the run dialog with windows+R, then type in
control userpasswords2
Then hit enter.
This dialog should be quite self explanitory, but if you need help, let
us know. Be very very very careful when putting in your password here
for the
system to log you on. If you do this wrong, and you're the only user
account on the system, you'll lock yourself out forever more unless you
use hacking
tools to get yourself back in, but I won't go there for legality
reasons. The reason is, it'll be trying to put that mistyped password
in, and rejecting
it, thereby not giving you a chance to do anything more.
I have a friend who had Windows 7, and he did this very thing, and oh!
God, what a mess it was! We got him back in, but if I told you how,
I'd
have to
kil ya. LOL!
The point is, be careful. As long as you are so though, you'll be just
fine, and it'll do exactly what you need it to do.
