Windows 10: Latest Windows 10 update remove option to login by password.

After a windows 10 update, my PC only allow PIN log in. I don't remember my PIN so I am unable to log on as admin on my PC.

I do have my password but there is no option to use the password because I no longer have the "sign-in" option. I have tried almost everything have seen in the forum but everything requires admin access to my PC. eg. the different recovery options but I get "You need to sign in as an administrator to continue, but there aren't any administrator accounts on this PC".


My admin do show up on the log in screen but as I mention "PIN" is the only option and I don't have the PIN.


I am currently using a guest account with no admin rights.

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?
