    Resetting Win10 initial sign-on screen password


    I used to change my initial sign-on password every month. When I turn on, picture would turn on and space to enter password was there. Now the system will not let me change that password. I followed the directions and I have done this for years, but now it will not let me change it. It just directs me to change c my Microsoft account password which as expected does so with no problem, but not my PC password.

    :)

    password sign in

    Hi,

    About your concern with typing the password after being idle, it is actually recommended to activate for security reasons.

    If you wish to disable it, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    • Go to Settings.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Click on Sign in options.
    • On the right side, you will see required sign in.
    • Change it to Never.

    Let us know how it goes.
