Windows 10: Password after reboot but not after sleep.

Hi. How do I configure windows such that it requires a password to log in after a reboot (where my laptop turns itself off) but not after sleeping (where I've just closed my laptop lid for a few minutes)?


The only options available in Require sign-in under Sign in options are to either require a password when the PC wakes up from sleep, or never.


Thanks.

Passwords and Auto Sleep


I just upgraded from windows 7 sp2 to Windows 10.. I'm pissed at MS because it makes me log in with a password. I don't have sensitive information. No one but me uses the computer, so its a big PITA. Someone suggested a program to run so that when I reboot, I don't have to sign in. That works okay, but now the damn thing falls asleep, and I STILL have to sign in with a password.

So, I figured I'd get around that by extending the auto sleep time, but I can't figure out how to do that.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Carl

You can reset your password following the next steps:

• Reboot your computer / Turn your computer on.
• Hold down the Shift key at the start of the boot process to enable the GNU GRUB boot menu (if it does not show)
• Press ESC at the GNU GRUB prompt.
• Press e for edit.
• Use the Arrow keys to highlight the line that begins with kernel and press the e key.
• Go to the very end of the line and add rw init=/bin/bash
• Press Enter and then press b to boot your system.
• Your system will boot up to a passwordless root shell.
• Type in passwd yourusername
• Set your new password.
• Restart your system.
