Win 10 Pin and or password required! Cant remove .

Thank you Brink for your speedy response. As for your first suggestion you suggest I use the option one step 4 to; sign in user account automatically? to not sign in, automatically? In your second suggestion her LT is already set to "never". - - - Updated - - - I think I have solved the issue. Here is what I did (for others). Win key+R> type netplwiz>if your users must enter name and password box is un-checked (even though the password screen is showing upon start-up) then check it. Follow up by entering the password (required) to apply settings. select Apply, and OK. close window. shut down, then re start> inter password>go to Win key+R >enter netplwiz hit run or OK> un-check the box previously checked. provide password select apply and OK. This did it for me. There may be better/faster way, but this worked in my case.
