  1. 2 users displayed at login but only one user occurred when trying to disable password login


    When I start my computer windows displays 2 users but in user accounts there is only 1 user , the administrator account to which i'm now logged in, and I never created another user. This appeared after I tried to remove the user and password requirement at login using the netplwiz command. I unchecked the tick in the users window and had to enter my 4 digit pin to confirm it which you can see below.


    I'll also post 4 pictures of what comes up when I turn on the pc and then which account I have to choose to sign in normally. For some reason the user that the pc opens with is displayed as 5 characters out of my 16 character email yet also with my name above but with no picture. the one with the picture is my regular administrator account which i have been using fine until this.


    any help is greatly appreciated


    thanks

    david

  3. marknyy Win User
    Windows users at login

    I cannot see all of my user accounts on the login screen on a new Windows 10 laptop. I have an account for my son and it does not appear as a user on the login screen. It is listed if I display the users with the CMD prompt. The only account I see is my
    account which is an admin. His account is a user. All the suggestions I've seen are not available on home edition.

    Windows 10 - disable login passwords

    Hi,

    Thank you for bringing up your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you want to disable User account password.


    • Are you using Microsoft User account or Local User account to log-in?
    Let us try the following steps, and check if it helps.

    1. Search in the taskbar netplwiz

    2. Now user accounts info window will pop up.

    Now, select the user account for which you want to disable the password login. Now, uncheck the option which says
    user must enter a user name and password to use this computer.

    Now, press OK or hit enter.

    3. A new window will come out in which you have to confirm your passwords. Use password for your user account here and press
    ok button.

    4. Click Ok button and you are done. You will no longer required to enter password each time you start your computer.

    If you want to revert back password login feature, repeat the process explained above and check the field which says, user must enter a user name and password to use this computer. Now, enter the login credential to confirm the process.

    Hope it helps.

    Let us know the status, we are glad to assist you further.
