Windows 10 requires a password when you turn it on. Resetting the secure login system through User Account Services
It often happens that there is no need to enter a password every time Windows startup 10. For example, you home computer or a laptop, and you are sure that no one except you and your close relatives (who already know the password) will be able to use the device. And you want your Windows 10 to start right up to the desktop when you start your computer, without the obstacle of having to enter a password.
If you are sure that you definitely don’t need a password when logging in, then I’ll tell you step by step with pictures, how to disable entering a password when logging into Windows 10.
In Windows 10 this is done in the same way as in previous versions this operating system Microsoft: "seven" and "eight".
To begin, hold down the Win key (this is the system Windows key on the keyboard, located, as a rule, between the left Ctrl and Alt), you must press Latin letter R.
In the Run window that opens, enter the command netplwiz and click OK.
In the “User Accounts” window that opens, we need to uncheck the “Require username and password” checkbox, and then save the changes made by clicking OK.
The final step will ask you to enter your password twice to confirm that you really want to disable password entry when logging into Windows 10.
That's all. Windows 10 will no longer require you to enter a password when logging in. Your computer will start up on its own to the desktop state while you, for example, go about your business in the morning.
Note! Disabling password entry when booting Windows 10 may not turn off immediately, but only from the second reboot. That is, the next time you turn off and turn on the computer, you will have to enter the password. Perhaps this is a glitch of the operating system, or perhaps its additional protection.
Need I say that enable password entry when logging into Windows 10 you can do it the same way.
P.S.: After writing the article, the following entry appeared in the comments below: “ After all the suggested actions, I rebooted twice; Initially it does not require a password, but if the beech lid is closed and opened again, it asks for a password again.» A Windows 10 user had a completely natural and fair question. Therefore, I am adding here a way to cope with this task.
Before that we are with you disabled the password request when turning on or restarting the computer. And in this case (closing the laptop lid), the computer goes into sleep mode. The appearance of the password after exiting these states is determined by completely different parameters. And here's how to disable it:
- Stand in search bar Taskbar (magnifying glass next to the Start menu)
- Type the phrase " Login Options»
- Run the found tool " Login Options» .
- Under Login Required, select " Never».
Or here's an even faster way:
- Press Win + i
- Select the “Accounts” item.
- In the left column “Login Options”.
- In the “Login required” item, set “Never”.
Thus, you and I are still disabled the password request in Windows 10 after waking up from sleep .
Continuing to unravel the mysteries of the Windows 10 operating system, I learned about next problem users. Some people cannot remove the password that the Windows 10 operating system asks us to do every time we log in or when we exit sleep mode. After figuring it out a little, I decided to write this article and explain to your readers what's what.
And so, in the operating room Windows system 10 there can be two accounts: either a local account or a Microsoft account. If you have a local one, then you can safely start disabling the password now, if you have a Microsoft one, then first you will need to transfer it to local, and only then disable it. If you don’t understand what we’re talking about at all, then finish reading the article, and only then start practicing.
Local account– this is your personally created username and password; they are used when logging into the system.
Microsoft account– this is your registration data on the Microsoft website, where your email address is used as a login.
In the list of accounts
And so we begin. Press the Win+R key combination and in the window that opens, write netplwiz, click “OK”
In the window that opens, in the “Users” tab, remove the checkbox next to the item "Require username and password". Click "OK"
In theory, this should be enough, but just in case, let's move on. Click the “Start” button and select “Settings”
In the window that opens, click on the tab "Accounts"
If this is not the case for you, then disconnect your account from Microsoft by clicking on the “Disconnect” button. In the window for switching to local, you enter your password and username. Next press "Log out", after all this the system will be transferred to a local account.
Via login options
Removing the password in the section "Login Options". They write to us here that if we are absent, the system should prompt us to log in again after some time. Next to this item, select the value “Never” from the drop-down list (this means that the operating system will no longer ask us for a password when exiting sleep mode). And next to the “Password” item, click on the “Change” button.
Enter your current password and click on the “Next” button:
In the next window, we leave all the fields empty, and this means that now we will not have any password at all:
That's how it is, for us in the section "Login Options" Now they write that our account does not have a password.
We could end here, although there is another way to disable the password through the registry, but I don’t recommend using it, because you can create the wrong parameters and values and cause trouble.
