Password issue

After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid. I'm forced to make a new password all over again. It seems to happen if I don't login in a certain period of time. Does our passwords expire???

 

Getting "the username or password is incorrect try again" with initial login.

Getting "the username or password is incorrect try again" with initial login.

Dell Notebook I have been getting the error, "the username or password is incorrect try again" with initial login.
This began when still running Windows 7. I hoped it would go away when I recently converted to Win 10 but it didn’t.
When I restart, the Computer Management Event Viewer lists service control manager errors 7001, 7009, and 7031.
Did web searches on these errors. Following the things suggested for 7001, I have verified that all the services listed are running.
7009 refers to timeout errors. The 30 second default for timeout seems OK and there must be some other problem.
So far, haven’t found anything for 7031 that seems related to the subject problem.
Attached is a screen shot of a list of all the user accounts for the PC.
The dates modified are all for the day I converted to Win 10 or after.
The problem existed previously when I was running Win 7.
Searching on the subject error msg. only gives discussions on how to eliminate the startup password requirement.
That’s bad but may indicate the problem is somehow related to not requiring a password since I turned it off at some time before the problem occurred.
Everyone with the problem wants to have the requirement off.

I haven’t tried changing account names, adding an account, etc. because the PC works fine other than the message (well, it does freeze every couple weeks) I’m afraid that such changes might make it unusable.

However, the problem now prevents me from setting up a network for win 10, so I would like to clear it up.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

How do you opt out of the W8.1 password login?

I just set up a laptop for a friend by DLing ALL the W8 updates, and then installing the 8.1 free update, but it makes you choose a password login. In searching I've found a way to turn that off by unchecking the password option in the user account settings, and it now bypasses it on restart and initial bootup, but it doesn't completely remove this annoying feature. Any time the clock/screensaver kicks in, it still asks for a password.

Does anyone know how to completely bypass the password login option for W8.1?
