Windows 10: Netplwiz option

Hi,


I'm trying to disable the password for a computer/account, and I've used the netplwiz/User Accounts app to do this in the past, but now I don't see the checkbox for "Users must enter a username and password...". I'm using Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC.


Thanks,
Matt

Strange User Not in NETPLWIZ


It should only be listed in netplwiz if it is active. In a command prompt, type net users to get a list of all user accounts (active or not). Type net user guest to see full details for that one account, including whether the system thinks it's active.

Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...


That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
