How to disable user log-in password

Hi Gary,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I understand the inconvenience caused to you. Let me assist you to fix the issue.

To understand the issue better, I would like to know when you say ‘’second user account’’ is this user account is Microsoft account?

Please be informed that if you are not using Microsoft account, you cannot disable the password option. However, to disable the password you have to convert the Microsoft user account to local user account.

If you are using Microsoft account you can try the below steps to convert the Microsoft account to local user account.

• 
  Go to settings and click on Accounts.
  
• 
  Click on Your email and accounts and click on
  Sign-in with a local account instead.
  
• 
  Enter the password, click on Next
  and follow the onscreen instruction to convert into local account.
  
• 
  Keep the password blank (local user account).
  

Note: If you are not using Microsoft account you will not able to use complete Windows features.

Hope this helps. Please share the status, we will be glad to help you.

 

How to disable password at log on?

Hi Naveena,

To assist you better, I would like to know whether you are logging in with Microsoft account.

If you are using the Microsoft account to log in, I would like to inform you that it is not possible to sign into Windows without the password.

However, you may create a local account/user account and use that account to sign in, so that it will not ask you for the password when signing in.

I suggest you to refer to the article created by Andre da Costa
(MVP, Community Moderator & Wiki Author) and check if you are able to retrieve the files that are missing from the computer.
