    Pin, Password Required to log on


    I have the requirement for password or pin disabled but everytime I log in I have to put in one or the other. Does anyone know what might be causing this? I have been unable to find anyone who has addressed this issue online.

  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.

    Pin, Password Required to log on

    Windows 10 password pin stopped working

    Hi,

    To better assist you, please answer the following questions:

    • Are you able to start up your device up to the desktop screen?
    • After doing the password reset, what error message are you getting?
    • Are you able to log in to your account using a password instead of a pin?

    In the meantime, if you are able to start up your device up to the desktop screen you may follow the steps to Remove Pin:

    Go to Settings.

    Under Accounts, click on Sign in options and select
    Remove PIN.

    After removing your PIN (this will require your password to do this), then you may click
    Add PIN. Follow the steps to add a PIN.

    NOTE: You may use the same PIN you have been using.

    After doing so, log out of your account and sign back in using your PIN.

    Let us know how it works.
