  1. Removing the password


    I have been trying to remove the need to input a password when waking my computer from 'Sleep' mode.

    I have followed the procedures that I have found on-line but it still doesn't seem to work.

    I am obviously using Windows 10 and I recently did a new 'clean install' and so I imagine that the version is pretty much up-to-date.

    Any thoughts anyone?

    Many thanks.

    :)

  2. Removing the must have password inorder to sign into windows 10 computer

    I just want to be able to sign into my PERSONAL HOME computer without having to put in a password or code. When I first got my windows 10 and set it up I was prompt to put in a code. But after two years this is getting annoying. I have tried and tried
    and cant figure out how to do it. hint: putting in netplwz command and unchecking use password does not work.

  5. Thank you for trying to help. I can't find the option that you mention. Hopefully I will have attached a shot of my sign-in options page for you to see.
