Just did a reinstall of Windows 11.Upon opening Netplwiz, ther is no option to require a password.I'm forced every boot to put in my PIN.I want to automatically log in.James

Win 10 Pin and or password required! Cant remove .

Thank you Brink for your speedy response. As for your first suggestion you suggest I use the option one step 4 to; sign in user account automatically? to not sign in, automatically? In your second suggestion her LT is already set to "never".

I think I have solved the issue. Here is what I did (for others). Win key+R> type netplwiz>if your users must enter name and password box is un-checked (even though the password screen is showing upon start-up) then check it. Follow up by entering the password (required) to apply settings. select Apply, and OK. close window. shut down, then re start> inter password>go to Win key+R >enter netplwiz hit run or OK> un-check the box previously checked. provide password select apply and OK. This did it for me. There may be better/faster way, but this worked in my case.

 

How to change forgotten password if netplwiz enables access

Wish I had seen posts #2 and 3 before I did what NavyLCDR said to do. Anyway, I got it done. I wasn't sure whether I could use my hotmail address or if I had to create a new User and email. I used my original email and steps after that were not what Bing said would come up--no option to set a new password. On the sign in, only my email appeared and not my real name as it normally does on my other computers. I went into netplwiz and deleted my old name (had to check the box).

In summary, my Microsoft email knew what my password was and with an email code to verify, I now have access to this computer if a password is ever required. (I had to remember to go back to netplwiz and uncheck the box!)

 

Password

thanks - I followed your directions and password problem seems to have been corrected.
