  2. Log in requires password


    Since a recent update the PC now requires a password to log in.

    I have tried Windows Key - netplwiz and unchecked "users must use password...."

    There are no other users shown in the listing.

    I use my Windows account as my log in which is also the administrator account.

    Also on restart the lock screen shows - pretty picture and no taskbar. I have to press spacebar to release that and then it shows my account and requires a password input.

  3. Change password required every time I log in

    Hi,

    my laptop asks me to change my user password every time i startup my laptop. When it gets to the username password screen, i type my password then it gives a message..

    1. "The user's password must be changed before signing in"
    2. It pops up the new password and confirm password box
    3. then i can enter the same or new password
    4. It says changing password, then your password has been updated.
    5. it then logs me on.
    However, i have to go through this process every time i start.

    The 5 steps in your message do not work as when i get to the advanced tab it says this option is not available and to go to control panel and change user passwords there. In control panel, settings, accounts,
    sign in options i have changed the Require sign-in to Never but it still asks me next time i shutdown and turn on.

  4. Password protected comp: How do I stop the required log in process

    Password Protected Sharing, Password required is an old password.

    I want to see files on a W10 computer from a W7 computer via WiFi or Ethernet LAN.

    Advance Sharing Settings:

    Windows 10 and Windows 7, File Sharing, Password Protected Sharing is "On" for both computers. No "User group" is setup on either computer.

    Steps:

    I use "Windows Explorer" on W7 to navigate to W10 through "Network" in navigation pane.

    W10 and "Users" are visible on W7.

    When I click on the desired user, the following popup opens:

    "Enter Network Password"

    "Enter your password to connect to:W10"

    When I enter L:
    *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and CURRENT password, it is rejected. Files and folders on W10 are not shared.

    When I enter L: *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and OLD
    password, it is accepted. Files and folders on W10 are shared.

    I expected the required password to be the same as I use to log directly into W10; the
    CURRENT password. How can I update the required password to be the current password?

    Regards,
