  2. Windows 10 netplwiz 'Users must enter a username and password Missing

    I Had this problem with netplwiz 'Users must enter a username and password to use this computer' checkbox missing

    But according to my research, this is an issue for some users only with Build 2004.....thought it was due to a corrupt user profile......so did the suggested registry mod & all is back to normal, meant to be `by design` by Microsoft to discourage passwords and use other means of logging in....need go to the following reg key and change the DWORD to 0 from 2.....would love any comments on this, but it worked for me

    Username Change with netplwiz and now it shows password is wrong, what do I do?

    Strange variation on The username or password is incorrect"

    To log in automatically, Advanced User Account Control Panel (netplwiz) stores your username as \\ComputerName\UserName.

    Let's say your computer name is PC-1 and username Alan, netplwiz will save it as \\PC-1\Alan. If you now change your PC name to PC-2, your username will be changed, too, it being now \\PC-2\Alan. However, netplwiz is still trying to log you in with \\PC-1\Alan, a username which does no longer exit.

    Solution which should work is to select Users must enter a username and password in netplwiz, restart and log in with password, then unselect Users must enter a username and password in netplwiz. Automatic log in should work now.
