Windows 10: How do I disable windows 10 password on startup?

I'm trying to disable windows 10 password on startup. Its a home computer for everyone. I don't have a need for a password. I recently downloaded the newest version of windows 10 from the Microsoft website. I used Hotmail account for login as usual, but when I try netplwiz in search or control userpasswords2 and takes me to the user account page. It does not have the box with "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer" . What happened, and how can I fix or disable to password?

Windows Startup password

Is it possible to remove a startup password without being able to log into the system? A friend's laptop just prompt her today for a password that she never enabled. Now, she does have a standard user account password, but that doesn't work for the startup password. She had the computer for about a year now and it has never asked for a startup password until today.

I tried to use Hiren Boot CD to run a diagnostic on the laptop, but it has a bsod. Windows 10 normal boot crashes as well

Yes, I'm sure there wasn't a Microsoft account on the laptop. When I set it up, she didn't want one

So I had to do a factory restore on the laptop. All boot methods would crash. I found out the owner was duped into giving a scammer access to her computer. That's how the startup password got set.

See its not the same as the account login password prompt

Thanks for the link! I will most definitely save it and use it when needed
