Windows 10: Remove Password Protect

Don't want to have to use my password to sign in every time when I'm the only one using it...it's a pain to say the least. To make it worse I can't even enter my password if I wanted to because it won't accept any letters in that field. What I have to do is "reset" every time I get on the computer. What is going on? This Windows 10 is a problem for me!!!

password protect

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

I would suggest you to provide some information to help you better.

• Are you referring to BIOS password as Boot password?
  
• Is it a login password which you are referring when Windows starts?

If Login password, provided you are using Local Account on Windows 10 you may follow the below steps:

• Press Windows + R keys to open Run command
  
• Type " control userpasswords2 "
• Select the account and uncheck "user must login with password"
• Select apply and Ok.

If Boot password you may have to contact your computer manufacturer.

Keep us posted to help you better.

 

Can't remove sleep password protection

I don't really take my Book (i5, no dGPU) out of the house. So I don't want it password protected. I removed the requirement for a password on start-up just fine. But it still requires the password after it's in sleep for a while. I can change it to one
of the other options and it works as it should, but when it's set to 'Never', it still requires it. Any suggestions?
