Windows 10: Cannot Disable Password "Protection" on Windows 10 Computer

Hello,


I have followed the standard instructions for disabling the password requirement on startup of my Windows 10 computer use 'netplwiz' and uncheck the box for password protection, click 'apply' after, and still the computer demands a password on startup.


I see that other uses have had this question and that is was unresolved but nevertheless the discussion was locked.


How do I actually disable the password demand on a Windows 10 computer?


Thank you.

:)

 

password protect

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

I would suggest you to provide some information to help you better.

• Are you referring to BIOS password as Boot password?
  
• Is it a login password which you are referring when Windows starts?

If Login password, provided you are using Local Account on Windows 10 you may follow the below steps:

• Press Windows + R keys to open Run command
  
• Type " control userpasswords2 "
• Select the account and uncheck "user must login with password"
• Select apply and Ok.

If Boot password you may have to contact your computer manufacturer.

Keep us posted to help you better.
