I can't sign in to make changes or delete. Even using administrator. What can I do to change this, as i am unable to control or do anything. Unable to update security etc. What can I do to fix this?

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.

 

turning of passwords

Hello Mark,

To turn off the password requirement on your Windows 10 PC, you can switch to a local account. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Click on the Windows icon and then the Settings icon.
   
2. Click on Accounts and then on Sign in with a local account instead.
   
3. Enter your existing password and click OK.
   
4. Enter your local username and leave the password fields empty.
   
5. Click on Next and then on Sign out and finish.
   

Alternatively, you can disable the password requirement by unchecking the “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer” option in netplwiz. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
   
2. Type “netplwiz” and click OK.
   
3. Uncheck the box next to “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer”.
   
4. Click OK.
   
5. Enter your username and password and click OK.
   

Please note that disabling the password requirement may pose a security risk. If you decide to proceed, make sure to take other security measures to protect your device and data.

Hope this helps,
