  2. Locked laptop to my sign-in by mistake

    Hi Christine,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    If I understand you correctly you need to enter the password at login time. There might be a chance that you have converted your local account to Microsoft account, due to which you need the password at login time. If you are willing to remove the
    password from the login screen and using Microsoft account for logging to the system then it will be hard to remove the password. However, if you are using local account then you may disable the password at login time.

    If you are using Microsoft Account then you may try the steps provided below to switch your account to Local account.

    • Press Windows key.
    • Type Users in the search box.
    • Click on Edit local users and Groups.
    • Click on Change your account picture or profile settings.
    • Click on your account.
    • There you will see the option to switch your account to local account.
    • Click on that and then follow the steps provided below to remove password.

    • Press Windows key + R.
    • Type netplwiz in the run box.
    • The user accounts window will open, whereby you can uncheck the box marked "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer", then click
      OK.

    register PC with microsoft; use local account to log in

    I bought a used laptop running Win 10 Pro. winver reports 1809.
    How do I register my PC with my Microsoft account?
    But when I'm done, I'd like to use my local account each time to log in.
    Please tell me how to do that.
    I am very new at Win 10, and need step by step instructions.

    Thanks,
