Getting rid of sign in password

Hi,

If you are using the Microsoft account then, there is no option to disable the password from the lock screen. Logging in to Windows 10 requires entering your Microsoft account credentials as
some of the services and settings require its access.

We suggest that you create a local user account to disable the password from the lock screen. You can also switch to local account and remove the sign in option. To do so, kindly visit this
link.

If you want to automatically sign in to your account, we recommend that you follow the steps below:

• Press the Windows key and the R key at the same time.
• Type netplwiz on the textbox, then press the Enter key.
• Once the User Accounts window pops up, select the user account that you want to sign in to automatically.
• Uncheck Users must enter a username and password to use this computer, then click on
  Apply.
• Enter the password of the requested account.
• Click on OK.

Note: It is not advisable to remove the password of any of your user accounts for security purposes.

We hope this helps. Let us know if you have any other questions.
