Windows 10: windows 10 asks for a password but i never set one and i cant even type one

yesterday i "linked" my only windows account with a hotmail account, to which windows wanted me to create a password for the windows account. i wrote one, it told me it was too simple so i tried to change it but during that process my pc rebooted. when i got back to my pc it was suddenly asking for a password that was never set and it wont even allow me to type one at all. The bootup screen has my account name and below a 'button' that says "log in" but when i click it nothing happens. there is no text box that i can use to type any password at all, only the log in button that does nothing whe

Windows 10 asks for a password reset upon every login attempt to the machine, there is no password set. (local PC user account)

Hi,

To help you disable the prompt when you sign in to the computer, please answer these questions:

• Before installing Windows 10, was the computer part of a workgroup?
• Are you using the same user profile from the previous Windows installation?
• Have you tried setting a different password? Does it also ask you to change it when the computer restarts?

Try the steps below to resolve the issue:

• Right-click on the Windows icon on your home screen.
• Select Command Prompt (Admin).
• Click OK if you get a prompt window.
• Type wmic UserAccount set PasswordExpires=False then press
  Enter.

Restart the computer after performing the steps and check if it will still ask you to change your password.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

Bitlocker not asking for password set up

I have the same problem as David with bitlocker set-up not asking me for a password. Following the instructions in the article suggested by Jennifer does not help as it assumes that I will be prompted to enter a password - the set up skips that step going
straight to the options for saving the recovery key. Once (supposedly) encrypted, I can restart my computer without having to enter anything apart from my microsoft password so I do not have any additional security at all.
