    Microsoft created a requirement that I log in with a password with windows 10 which I did not want. I created a password and used the instructions to tell it to never ask for a password, but it constantly ask for one, both on start up and after it puts itself to sleep. This was all bad enough, but you forced me to change the password, which presents a screen that cannot be closed without a code which I have to go to another to get because I cannot check my email because of the verification requirement. Once I did that and changed the password, you created a second user with the identical name. One user accepts the new password, the other doesn't, nor does it accept the old password. How do I remove one account and keep windows from requiring a password?
