Windows 10: My laptop wouldn't turn on after entering password to "Disabled Sign-in Options Due to...

When I turned on my ASUS T100TAF, "Disabled Sign-in Options Due to Failed Attempts" error appeared. I entered my password, but a message appeared that this option is not available and then the screen went blank. I had recently disabled password to my hotmail account using my other laptop. So now when I turn on my ASUS T100TAF, the power button would flash but not power on. Thanks for your assistance.

turning of passwords

Hello Mark,

To turn off the password requirement on your Windows 10 PC, you can switch to a local account. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Click on the Windows icon and then the Settings icon.
   
2. Click on Accounts and then on Sign in with a local account instead.
   
3. Enter your existing password and click OK.
   
4. Enter your local username and leave the password fields empty.
   
5. Click on Next and then on Sign out and finish.
   

Alternatively, you can disable the password requirement by unchecking the “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer” option in netplwiz. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
   
2. Type “netplwiz” and click OK.
   
3. Uncheck the box next to “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer”.
   
4. Click OK.
   
5. Enter your username and password and click OK.
   

Please note that disabling the password requirement may pose a security risk. If you decide to proceed, make sure to take other security measures to protect your device and data.

Hope this helps,
