Many users of computers running Windows 10 (or Windows 8.1) use the linking of the operating system to a Microsoft account. Thanks to this, they have access to absolutely all the features and functions of the system. However, this also has its disadvantages, and one of them is that every time the PC is turned on, the user has to enter the password for his account, otherwise he will not be able to log in to the system.

If you only use a computer at home, and no one else has access to it except you, then you have absolutely no need for password protection of the system, which means you can remove the password without fear.

Enable automatic login to Windows 10 without entering a password

Not everyone knows this, but the Windows 10 login screen password can be easily disabled. To be more precise, just add your Microsoft account password to the Credential Manager once and you will once and for all forget about being asked to enter a password before starting to work with the operating system. Here's how to do it.

Right-click on the Start button and select Run, or simply press +R on your keyboard. Enter the command netplwiz and press the "OK" button or the Enter key on your keyboard.

The User Accounts window will open. It can be opened in other ways, for example, through, but the netplwiz command is the easiest option.

In this window, if you have multiple accounts, you need to select the profile for which you want to enable automatic login without entering a password. Uncheck the “Require username and password” option and click the “Apply” button.

Now enter your current password twice and click OK to confirm the changes.

Once you restart your computer, you will see that you no longer need to enter a password. This, of course, has its drawbacks, since by disabling the password, you remove a layer from the security of the operating system, but in this case, for the sake of your convenience.

Finally, to remove the password when your computer wakes from sleep, open the Settings app, go to Accounts -> Sign-in Options, and select the Never option from the Require Sign-in drop-down menu.

Hi all!

The other day I was wondering how to remove Windows 10 login password. Initially, I didn’t have it, but at the same time, the loading of the dozens itself was not complete, but up to the welcome screen... Where you had to press the “log in” button from your account, and this was the first problem that bothered me a little. It’s as if, after clicking on the “login” button, the computer thought some more... Although, it’s not clear what to think!

It would start right away, and that’s all...)) We’ll do everything. Read to the end.

In general, okay. I initially came to terms with this problem! Click login and Windows starts without a password.

But, one day the other day... Once again, while working on the blog, I noticed some strange feature, or a glitch with the mouse.

The mouse cursor kept hovering on the screen, and at the same time the buttons reacted. And after a while, the cursor worked again as if nothing had happened. To understand the situation, this is a radio mouse, without a wire. Which, at the same time, turned itself off if you did not approach it for a long time. And then, when clicked, it starts again - it works... and the mouse indicator blinks, as it should. The problem with the mouse was repeated more and more often, until I bought 3 types of different batteries - it didn’t help. I bought another mouse - it didn’t help! But the problem turned out to be not in the mouse at all...

And in search of a solution, I accidentally came across a video from YouTube, where one gamer talked about a similar glitch in the top ten. And to fix it, you had to create an account in xbox microsoft (if you don’t already have one), and there in the settings disable one function related to mouse settings... (this problem is more relevant for gamers whose mouse slows down during the game or freezes)

Hmm... Just think about it! What does this have to do with the Windows 10 password and account?

The fact of the matter is that earlier, before logging into xbox, I did not have a password when starting windows itself. And when I created the account, it contacted my local computer, and now required a password upon boot:

It turns out that you can have 2 types of user. One local user, no password. And the other is from a microsoft account. You could have activated it in another way. For example, it worked for me via xbox.

Naturally, this whole thing was not satisfactory. It was enough that Windows loaded until the welcome screen appeared:

After that, you need to press the mouse button or spacebar. For the Windows 10 login screen to appear. And only after that, you had to enter your password and press login.

This, of course, is an unrealistically unnecessary action.

Some kind of headache when loading the computer. From whom, what to hide? Why encrypt like that? And the same thing happened when exiting sleep mode.

So! It was decided to deal with this situation and launch Windows directly to the desktop, bypassing the welcome screen and entering a password.

How to remove the password when logging into Windows 10 from sleep mode and when starting a computer or laptop?

After reading a little online about this, I found several solutions. And today I will share with you...

First of all, it was necessary to leave one account - one user under which we log into Windows 10. That is, local. And you can simply delete your Microsoft account so that it doesn’t interfere. Or switch from Microsoft to local. And why did I even need it?

or, here's another option...

Shown how to disable (remove) the password request when logging into Windows 10 on a laptop?

The video shows it specifically on a laptop, and about exiting sleep mode without a password.

Sequencing:

1. Type netplwiz in the search and run the command

2. User accounts will open

Here I left only one user (local, only myself). And I deleted all the others! At the same time, the group for the main user is - administrator. The point is to be one person in the Windows 10 system, as an administrator.

Click Apply and a window will pop up asking you to enter your old password. We just enter it and then check again to make sure the box is not checked. Click “apply” and “ok” again.

There is an opinion that at this point there is a small glitch in the top ten itself. And the checkmark may appear again after saving. So check it again!

By the way, about the glitch with a tick. He is really present. And if you log into user accounts again, the check mark will appear again. But it won’t take effect until we click OK. :

This helped me, but in addition I deleted my Microsoft account (see video below) and disabled the password request when resuming from sleep mode (read below).

At the stage when I left one user with Windows, which should already start without a password... When logging out of the system, or when exiting sleep mode, the password was shown.

You can easily check this by logging out of the system using the key combination win+L:

How to log out of the system, as if from sleep mode. Check if there is a password?

Press the key combination WIN+L:

If not, then congratulations! Everything is resolved, and when you exit the sleeper, the password is no longer required.

Windows 10. What to do and how to remove the password if it requires a password when exiting sleep mode?

In the video above, these points were discussed. Let's take a closer look, step by step.

1. In the search, enter “password”, then open “Login Options”

2. In the login options, select "NEVER".

This is the entry parameter, namely the exit from sleep mode. Windows explains it to us like this:

If you are away, how long should Windows require you to sign in again?

That's all!

Although you probably won't have such a function after you disable the user's password. As shown above. After all, if there is no password, then what to ask for)) . In any case, write below if you have any difficulties. We will try to help you!

To check, you can restart your computer. Or log out of the system using the key combination WIN+L, and it will no longer require a password. Just press the button and log in. And when the system boots when you turn on the computer, the password and welcome screen will not be requested at all, but the desktop will load immediately. Fast and convenient!

And lastly, this is a video about Microsoft Local Recording. Since there is not much information on this topic, I found a solution...

Microsoft account - how to disable it in Windows 10?

The topic was divided into 2 stages:

1. First, the account is deleted from the computer itself.
2. Deleted from the site itself (Microsoft server)

The first stage is shown in the first part of the video.

But the second stage, in more detail...

Instructions:

1. Go to the website https://account.microsoft.com

3. Then, on the SECURITY tab, you need to find the item ADDITIONAL SECURITY SETTINGS

4. And in the next steps, request a special code to verify the account that it belongs to you. Click - SEND CODE. The code arrives quickly, and we enter it in a special field, as shown below...

5. The fifth step, at the very bottom, after going to the next page (you may need to click the CONTINUE button), and then the item - “Closing your account”, which is at the very bottom of the screen. And select the link - “Close account”.

6. You will be warned again and told that the account will be permanently closed after 60 days. expectations. But that's not the point! Read the information in detail and click NEXT. As shown below...

That's all the stages. In fact, I wouldn’t have needed the last step if I hadn’t created a Microsoft account through xbox. So I had to deactivate it.

The most interesting thing is that the problem with the mouse was not entirely related to the xbox settings. Because this is more of a setting for gamers.

Well, oh well))… One event with a mouse forced me to look into another problem and write about it on the blog pages.

I found new ways for myself that speed up the operation of Windows 10, as well as how to quickly find suitable drivers for all computer devices so that they are free of system errors and conflicts. After all, problems associated with the top ten are periodically noticed. Especially when the processes in the system are heavily loaded.

I want to tell you everything. Write below how relevant is this for you to know?…

As for Windows being loaded with various processes and programs that can slow down its operation, this is not necessarily a problem with RAM. It is likely that the glitches are software related to . The same hard drive may produce errors that you are not aware of. Everything needs to be checked and corrected periodically.

In the next issues, there is something to talk about.

By the way, speaking about programs such as Photoshop or dreamweaver - they are also not bad at loading your system. Especially when you surf the Internet at the same time, and have 30 tabs open, and 3 more browsers are additionally launched to check client sites.

So it turns out that the system can be very heavily loaded with tasks, and Windows will cope, but somewhere the first problems will begin. And it’s especially bad when the computer freezes completely and you turn it off emergencyly. And then, after another failure, it may turn out that Windows will not start. Or something will break in the system again and you will need to re-enter your password.

In general, write below what is wrong with Windows 10. We will figure it out together.

When you turn on the computer, it usually asks you to enter an access code. Protecting your account with a password is designed to prevent access to your confidential information for other users. However, if you are single user personal computer, constantly asking for a password when logging in will be more of a hindrance than a help.

This is an extra action, extra information that needs to be remembered, an increase in boot time when turning on the PC, and so on. Besides, if you forget it, you will get a lot of problems.

Therefore, for most users it is easier remove password entry for your account in Windows 10. This article is devoted to this issue.

Disabling a local account password

If you use a local account to log into Windows 10, cancel password entry simple enough. You can simply delete it.

To do this, do the following:

1. Call up the menu " Start", using the Win key, or using the corresponding icon on the quick access panel.
2. Open " Options" You can also call this interface using the key combination Win + I.
3. Go to the section called "".
4. Using the navigation menu on the left side of the window, go to the “ Login Options».
5. In the column " Password» Click the Change button.
   
6. Please enter the current access code for your account.
   
7. Leave all fields blank and click Next to remove the check.
   
8. If the OS asks you to reboot, do it.

Active the password will be removed immediately and will not be required to log into the Windows 10 operating system the next time you turn on your personal computer.

Alternative way to disable the request

If you don't like the settings menu that was introduced in Windows 10, you can remove the passcode using the usual control panels. The tool " Change».

Do the following:

1. Click on the button " Search» in the Quick Access Toolbar.
2. Enter« control Panel" fully or partially.
3. Run found utility.
4. Go to the "" category.
   
5. Click on the hyperlink " Deleting user accounts».
   
6. Select your account from the list provided.
7. Click on the hyperlink " Change password».
   
8. Enter a valid password, the remaining fields should be leave blank.
9. Click " Change password» to save the settings.
   

As in the previous method, the password will be removed and you will not need to enter it the next time you log into Windows 10.

Disable the prompt for a Microsoft account

The methods described above allow you to get rid of the password check at login, but only when you work with local account. However, Windows 10 allows you to log in to the system using single Microsoft account. And it is no longer possible to remove the password from it. However, you can configure automatic entry of login information when starting this personal computer. This can be done in two different ways.

Account Settings

The first way to remove the check is simpler. However, unfortunately does not work on all computers. It is highly recommended that you try it first. And in case of failure, move on to the next point. To set up automatic entry without prompting, follow the instructions below:

In most cases, this is enough to log into the OS without asking for a password. However, if you were unable to remove the check, you will need to do manually editing the registry.

Registry changes

The registry stores data that Windows 10 uses to operate. By changing existing entries and creating new ones, users can seriously change the way the operating system works. Therefore, all changes must be made extremely carefully, since any error can lead to incorrect operation of the computer.

Before starting work in the Registry Editor, it is strongly recommended to create a system restore point. If something goes wrong, you can easily roll back to the saved version of Windows 10 without having to reinstall.

Registry Editor

To enter the editor, users will need to do the following:

1. Call up the dialog " Execute" using Win + R.
2. Type regedit and click OK.
   
3. If the program requires administrator permission, click OK.
4. On the left side of the editor there is a directory tree. Use it to find the directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

What are the differences between them? When using a local account, you usually plan to work on one computer, without synchronizing settings, installed applications and objects on the desktop. This approach was used back in Windows 7, and it may not require entering a password when logging into Ten.

With the advent of Windows 8, the authentication method has changed, and now, along with using a local account, it has become possible to use a Microsoft account when logging in. In this case, all OS settings are synchronized with the server, and you can log into your account from other devices. Authentication using a Microsoft account requires the user to set a password each time they try to log into the OS.

In the material presented, I will share with you tips on how to get rid of this. It is advisable to do this if no one is working on the computer except you, and you do not care about the safety of your confidential information (such as an email password stored on your PC, a bank card pin and code, or means of logging into other services). If someone else is working on your computer, it would be wiser to leave the OS login locked.

Method 1 – by changing user account settings

There are different ways to remove a password in Windows 10. One of them is to use the user account settings.

Open the mini command input panel through the “Run” menu by pressing the key combination Win+R(the Win button is a key on the keyboard with the Windows logo on it). On the panel that appears, enter the command netplwiz.

A form opens with settings for work user accounts. Select our active user in the list and uncheck the box that requires entering the user name and password.

Click the “Apply” button. A transaction confirmation form appears, where you need to specify the current password for your active Microsoft account.

Enter your login password twice in the appropriate fields and click OK. We check that the checkmark in the field we need has disappeared and reboot to check if our method worked.

Method 2 – Using Registry Editor

One of the main disadvantages of this method is that your password will be available for viewing in clear text in the registry, and anyone interested will be able to see it. In addition, this algorithm is very reliable and convenient, so you can have no doubt about the progressive approach of this method.

We launch the registry editor when using a key sequence Win+R and entering the command regedit. The editor window opens.

Opening a thread HKEY_LOUCAL_MACHINE \Softwares \Microsoft \WindowsNT \Current Version \Win logon.

1. Changing the value AutoAdminLogon by double-clicking on this field, as a result of which the value of the parameter should change from 0 to 1.
2. Changing the value DefaultDomainName to the domain name or local PC name. You can always see this value on the computer properties form. To call it, right-click on the “This PC” object in open Explorer and select “Properties” from the pop-up menu. Here you will find the full name of your PC.
3. Change the field value if necessary DefaultUserName to a different name, or simply leave the active user untouched
4. Generate String Element DefaultPassword, and in the “Value” field enter the password of your current account.

Now all that remains is to check the effectiveness of the procedure performed by restarting the computer and trying to log into the system.

How to remove password entry when exiting sleep mode?

When leaving sleep-mode a form also appears asking you to provide an account code. We'll remove that too.
To do this, go to Windows settings by selecting the appropriate item in the Start menu.

On the parameters form, go to the subsection “Accounts” -> “Login Options” and in the first paragraph we change the value of the parameter to “Never”.

Well, that’s all, now you have the right to freely leave the computer for any length of time, and the password request window will not appear.

Method 3 - Reverting to local account authentication upon login

As I already said at the beginning of my article, the authentication method can be changed from local to Microsoft and vice versa. Let's say that you preferred the last option. Then, if you switch to a local account, the need to enter a password every time will disappear by itself. How can I switch back to the local authentication method? Go to the Windows Settings menu through the Start menu.

The first number will ask us to enter the password for the active account. Let's do so.

The next form will ask you to enter your local account username and password. We enter the username arbitrarily, but intentionally leave the password fields blank.

Now everything is ready. We exit the operating system and log in with fresh authentication parameters by clicking on the button on the next window to log out.

Now log in again and make sure that a password is not required.

So we figured out how to remove the administrator password when logging into Top Ten. Some of these methods are safer, others are more convenient and practical. We tested them all and can say with clear confidence that they all work. Choose whatever you like and enjoy the comfort of working in Windows 10.
