    Setting up used wiped PC. Grabbed Win 10 off the Web. Wanting to boot w/o PW or PIN! Single user. No children. No family. No apps. No cloud. Should be simple, right? Eh - not exactly.Used netplwiz. Messed with sign-in options. Searched the Web for answers. Going around in circles. Reset a second time. Finally figured out I need a *local* account rather than MS Web acct. And then must set PW for the local acct to *nothing*; ie., hit the carriage return. What a nightmare. Hope this helps people who might be struggling with the same problem. This business of having two separate accounts: a MS w

    Pin and PW not working , computer in airplane mode

    I have read EVERY thread and tried every tutorial given by Microsoft on them amd I cannot get into my computer.

    Left for a meeting and it was updating

    -Come back and it says "Something happened and your pin isnt available. Click to set up your pin again"

    -click setup pin again amd it says I need to download an app from the app store, click yes. Pop up flashes off and we are back to sign in screen.

    -go to sign in with password, tells me password is wrong.... it's the same as it's been for years. Try it a dozen times making sure caps is off etc. No dice

    -click forgot my pw, says just a moment and flashes back to sign in screen

    -go on my phone and sign into my Microsoft account (so clearly the pw was right....) change pw

    -still cannot sign in and realize the comp isndisplaying airplane mode w no other option. I have a hardwired fiber line not wifi.

    -unplug ethernet replay after restart etc etc

    -tried every advanced option scenario and ALL of them ask for pw at some pt

    -tried boot media repair comp, ASKS FOR PW

    -tried boot media command prompt since advanced options wont do cp without password, none of the tutorials work all the resets say access denied

    I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

    I cant do anything about my pw since it's in airplane mode and I CANNOT wipe this computer i have tons of files i cannot lose.

    This is insane. Please HELP ME

  4. Setting up used wiped PC to boot w/o PW or PIN.

    I used to be able to have my one (administrator) account startup my PC w/o password/pin now I can't

    I used to be able to have my one (administrator) account startup my PC w/o password/pin now I can't. I only have two admin accounts one mine and the other default. But when I start up I get a third, that I cannot find to delete, in netplwiz or accounts.
    I just want to start my PC and let it start and go to desktop w/o login everytime.
