How to remove the password when logging in to Windows 10?

Want to quickly boot into your Windows 10 desktop while skipping the login screen? Want to avoid entering your account password every time you turn on your computer? You can easily disable your password at sign-in and set Windows 10 to automatically boot to your desktop or start screen without entering it.

The main advantage when logging in without a password is that the account does not require you to enter it, which means that you do not need to remember it and spend a few seconds during loading. That is, it will launch the desktop a couple of seconds faster. But, on the other hand, remember that it is much easier to access a PC without a password (for example, for children).

The procedure for setting up automatic login in Windows 10 is very similar to the same operations in Windows 7 and Windows 8. Therefore, some of the screenshots were taken in Windows 8.1. This method applies to both a local account and a Microsoft account. In other words, you can use this instruction, regardless of the type of account.

Warning: Only enable auto login if you are the only PC user. If the computer is used by other people (and children), then it is best to keep the accounts under lock and key.

You can follow one of the methods below to enable automatic login to Windows 10 without entering a password.

Method #1 to automatically login without entering a password

This is the easiest way to remove the password from the Windows 10 login screen.

Step 1: Open the Run window by pressing Win+R (Windows logo key and R key) at the same time. In the dialog box, type Netplwiz and then press enter.

Step 2: This will bring up a dialog box with "Accounts", select a user account, and then uncheck the "Require username and password" option. Click the "Apply" button, then the "Auto Login" window will open.

Step 3: In the automatic login dialog, enter the password, enter it again to confirm, and click "OK".

Step 4: Make sure the checkmark is cleared. You can try rebooting the system to check the effect.

Method number 2 to remove the password through the registry

If, for some reason, you are unable to set up automatic login to Windows 10 by following the above method, please use this one.

Step 1: Open Registry Editor. To do this, open the Run window (using the Win+R keyboard shortcut), type Regedit in the available field, and then press enter. Click the "Yes" button if a new window appears in front of you asking you to make changes to the system.

Step 2: In the Registry Editor, go to the following section:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Step 3: On the right side of the editor, find the setting called DefaultUserName, double-click on it, and make sure your Microsoft account or local user account name is mentioned in the Value field.

Step 4: Next, again in the same part of the window, find the DefaultPassword parameter. If the entry does not exist, create it by right-clicking on an empty space, clicking the New button, and then clicking on String Value. Rename it to DefaultPassword and enter the password in the Value field. Click OK.

Step 5 A: Finally, you need to enable automatic login. To do this, in the same part of the editor, find the entry labeled AutoAdminLogon, and then change its value from "0" (zero) to "1" (one).

Good afternoon. On my last project, this was the most popular topic. But it is understandable why. Microsoft imposes the use of an account to activate some additional features. But, on top of that, thanks to the synchronization of the account and its settings, it is somewhat easier to reinstall the system and synchronize between several devices (for example, a PC and a tablet or laptop). It is enough to enter your username and password and you will automatically receive your language settings and even a desktop background image. But there is also a small minus, after switching to a Microsoft account, you will have to enter the password every time you turn on the computer, and after waking up from sleep. Fortunately, it can be eliminated;) And now I will tell you how easy it is to do.

The article consists of two parts: requests when you turn on the computer and.

How to turn off the Microsoft account password prompt when you turn on your computer

Don't be afraid, it's very simple. But you need to be careful. So, press the key combination Win + R and in the window that opens, enter:

control userpasswords2

If this command did not work for you, then enter this one, they open the same window:

netplwiz

In the window that opens, select attention, your account with the "Administrators" group. I specifically noted this point, since there can be several accounts (like mine), but we need to use a working one. If you are using a guest account, then select it. If you are an advanced user, then I think you will figure it out yourself, but I am writing an article for the maximum number of users, and the vast majority use administrator accounts.

Once selected, uncheck "Require username and password".

We press the "Apply" button, a small window will appear in which we must enter the login and password for the account we want to facilitate the launch. And click OK.

That's it, we got rid of the password when you turn on the computer. Have a coffee and move on to the second part :)

How to turn off the password request when waking up the computer (waking up from sleep, hibernation)

I think some people will come to this article after completing the first instruction from some other resource. Since this moment is often forgotten. The bottom line is that even if you turn off the password prompt when you turn on the computer, the password prompt on wake-up will remain. And it turns off in a slightly different place. But let's get down to business ;)

We need to get to the "Power Options" section in the "Control Panel". You can do it manually too, but I suggest just clicking Win+R run the Run utility and copy the following command into it:

The Power Options window opens. Click on the cherished link " Require password on wake up» on the left side of the window.

Initially, the ability to make changes to the item of interest to us will be closed; to open access, you need to click on the message “ Change settings that are currently unavailable«.

Removing the password when logging into Windows 7 is quite simple. This will require a minimum amount of time, as well as knowledge. This kind of operation usually takes no more than a couple of minutes.

It can be done in various ways: through a special console, command line, or by resetting these keys from SAM. Each method has both its advantages and disadvantages.

Why set a password

It often happens that some important and confidential data is stored on a PC, access to which should be limited. Microsoft Windows makes it possible to easily restrict the circle of people who have access to files on a computer by installing a special key. It can be their own for each person, if there are several users.

Also, an access code is required to protect information on a PC to different owners from each other. For example, parents often need this so that curious children cannot get acquainted with some information that is not due to them.

We remove the password through the "Run" console

One of the easiest ways to disable the entry of an access key on the OS is using the "Run" item. Access to it is quite simple - just click on the "Start" button. Most often, the item in question is present on the right side of the window that opens.

Command entry

To disable the function in question, you must enter a specific command. It will open a special applet that allows you to do this.

The process of entering the command itself is as follows:

• open the Start button menu;
• click on the "Run" item;
• in the field that opens, write "control userpassword2".

After completing these operations, a window called "User Accounts" will open.

It has two tabs:

• "Users";
• "Additionally".

It is necessary to stop your attention on the first tab. Since it is in it that all account settings are carried out, including changing the login, access key and other attributes. In addition, if desired, you can easily add new accounts or delete old ones.

Disable the password

To disable Password, just open the appropriate window ("accounts" -> "users"). In it, you need to uncheck the box called "Require username and ...". In such a simple way, you can disable the need to enter Password.

Confirm user

You can also completely disable the Microsoft Windows login window.

To do this, you must perform the following steps:

• in the window called "Accounts" double-click on the desired line (admin, user or something else);
• press "OK".

A window will open containing three fields. Only the top one should be filled in, login is written there. The rest are left empty. After that, click on "OK" again. After performing these operations, when starting Microsoft Windows, there will be no need for Password water. Which is quite convenient if only one person has physical access to the PC.

We remove the password when starting Windows without programs

Also, Password in the operating system in question can be unstuck without using the "Run" item, as well as various kinds of third-party applications. To do this, just use a special command line. In this way, you can avoid having to enter the Password when turning on the computer, as well as when it wakes up from sleep mode.

Command line setup

In order to configure the command line, you must use the disk with the Windows distribution. This method of setting up and resetting the access code is suitable if it is forgotten, and otherwise it is not possible to start the OS.

First of all, you need to install the boot from the CD or other device containing the distribution through BIOS. After that, you should reboot and start the installation.

After that, the following steps are performed:

1. CmdLine - enter cmd.exe;
2. SetupType - replace parameter 0 with 2;

• select section 999 and click "Unload hive";
• extract the distribution and restart the PC.

Reset password and login

After loading the operating system, the user will immediately see the command line window. To reset the password, enter the following command: net user username

If for some reason User forgot the name of the account, then you can simply write net user without parameters. This will display all available titles and select the one you need.

If the use of a new Password is not expected, then it is enough to leave the field empty.

If you need to enter a new one, then the command will look like this: drivename:Windowssystem32net user username newkey.

It is also often required to create a new account without an access key.

To do this, you need to run the following commands in strict order:

These commands perform the operations in strict order:

1. creating a new User;
2. adding it to the Administrator workgroup;
3. removal from the Users group.

The reset method under consideration is rather complicated, but quite feasible even for not very experienced PC owners.

Method for resetting key data from a SAM file

There are a huge number of different ways to reset the login code. But all of them only change the information stored in a special file called SAM in various ways. It is he who is used by the OS to place data in it regarding both User and Password. This abbreviation stands for Security Account Manager.

The file in question does not have an extension, since it simply does not need it. It is a direct part of the registry, located in the directory systemrootsystem32config. Also, a copy of the file in question is available on the emergency recovery disk, if this function has not been disabled earlier for some reason.

Editing this file to change the login parameters of the operating system is the most difficult way. To work with SAM, you need specialized software from third-party developers. All operations with SAM must be performed as carefully and accurately as possible.

How it works

The most popular application for changing data in a SAM file is active password changer. Before you begin, you must copy the application to some media or other FAT32 hard drive.

After performing this operation, you must:

1. run file from password folder BootableDiskCreator;
2. in the window that opens, select Add USB...;
3. activate the button Start.

After completing all the above steps, a bootable USB flash drive will be created.

The process of changing data using the application in question is as follows:

This way of working with accounts and their attributes is the safest possible. Since it allows you to avoid editing the registry and other manual operations. This is sometimes difficult for not very experienced users who have started working with their PC relatively recently. The probability of harming the operating system in this case is almost zero.

Another important advantage of this program is the ability to set a schedule for the use of a PC by individual accounts.

The disadvantages include the fact that some older motherboard models do not support launching from a USB drive. In such a situation, one has to look for some alternative options: a floppy disk, a CD, or something else.

Quite often, especially with beginners, situations arise when the combination of characters required to enter the OS is forgotten or lost for other reasons. There are many ways out of such a difficult situation; reinstalling the system is not always required. Moreover, any computer owner who has minimal skills in interacting with equipment of this type will be able to cope with resetting the access code to the OS.

Hi all!

The other day I was wondering how to remove windows 10 login password. Initially, I didn’t have it, but at the same time, the download of dozens was not complete, but before the welcome screen ... Where it was required to press the “login” button from the account, and this was the first problem that bothered me a little. As if, after pressing the "enter" button, the computer still additionally thought ... Although, it is not clear what to think there!

It would start right away, and that's it ...)) We'll do everything. Read to the end.

In general, okay. With this problem, I initially reconciled! We press enter and Windows starts without a password.

But, one of these days…. Once again, while working on the blog, I noticed some strange feature, or a glitch with the mouse.

The mouse cursor hovered on the screen every now and then, and at the same time the buttons reacted. And after a while, the cursor worked again, as if nothing had happened. To understand the situation - this is a radio mouse, without a wire. Which, at the same time, turned itself off, in case you did not approach it for a long time. And then, on click, it starts again - it works ... and the mouse indicator blinks, as it should. The problem with the mouse repeated more and more often, until I bought 3 types of different batteries - it did not help. Bought another mouse - did not help! But the problem turned out to be not in the mouse at all ...

And in search of a solution, I accidentally stumbled upon a video from YouTube, where one gamer talked about a similar glitch in the top ten. And in order to fix it, you had to create an xbox microsoft account (if you don’t have one yet), and disable one function related to mouse settings in the settings ... (this problem is more relevant for gamers whose mouse slows down during the game or freezes)

Hmm ... Just think, you! And what does this have to do with the password in Windows 10 and the account?

The fact of the matter is that earlier, before logging into the xbox, I did not have a password when starting windows itself. And when I created an account, it contacted my local computer, and now it required a password on boot:

It turns out that you can have 2 types of user. One user local, no password. And the other one is from a microsoft account. You may have activated it in some other way. For example, it turned out for me, through the xbox.

Naturally, the whole thing did not suit. It was enough that Windows loaded until the welcome screen appeared:

After that, you need to press the mouse button, or the space bar. For the windows 10 login screen to appear. And only after that, you had to enter the password and press the login.

This, of course, is an unrealistic extra step.

Some kind of headache when loading the computer. From whom, what to hide something? Why is it so encrypted? And the same thing was repeated when exiting sleep mode.

So! It was decided to deal with this situation and make Windows launch immediately to the desktop, bypassing the welcome screen and entering the password.

How to remove the password when entering windows 10 from sleep mode and when starting a computer or laptop?

After reading a bit on the net about this, I found several solutions. And today I will share with you...

First of all, it was necessary to leave one account - one user under which we enter Windows 10. That is, local. And the microsoft account - you can simply delete it so as not to interfere. Or switch from Microsoft to local. And why did I need it at all?

Or, here's another option....

It is shown how to disable (remove) the password request when logging into windows 10 on a laptop?

The video shows it on a laptop, and about waking up from sleep without a password.

Sequencing:

1. Type netplwiz in the search and run the command

2. User accounts will open

Here I left only one user (local, only myself). And removed all others! At the same time, the group of the main user is - administrator. The point is to be one person in the windows 10 system, as an administrator.

Click Apply and a window will pop up asking you to enter your old password. Just enter, and then re-check that the checkbox is not ticked. Click "apply" and "ok" again.

There is an opinion that at this moment, there is a small glitch in the top ten itself. And the checkmark may reappear after saving. So check again!

By the way, on a glitch with a tick. He is really present. And if you re-login to user accounts, the checkmark will reappear. That's just it will not work until we click OK. :

It worked for me, but in addition I deleted my microsoft account (watch the video below) and turned off the password request when waking from sleep mode (read below).

At the stage when I left one Windows user, which should already be started without a password ... When I logged out, or when I exited from sleep mode, the password was shown.

This can be easily checked by logging out of the system using the win + L key combination:

How to log out of the system, as if from sleep mode. Check if there will be a password?

Press the key combination WIN + L:

And we exit the system. We will immediately notice whether a password will be required or not.

If not, then congratulations! Everything is resolved, and when you exit the hibernation, the password is no longer required.

Windows 10. What to do and how to remove the password if it requires a password when waking up from sleep mode?

In the video above, these points have been covered. Let's take a closer look, step by step.

1. In the search, enter - "password", then open "Login Options"

2. In the login options, select NEVER.

This is the input parameter, namely the exit from sleep mode. Windows explains it to us like this:

When you are away, how long should Windows require you to sign in again?

That's all!

Although you probably won't have this feature after you disable the user's password. As shown above. After all, if there is no password, then what to request)). In any case, write below if you have any difficulties. We will try to help you!

To check, you can restart your computer. Or log out of the system with the key combination WIN + L, and it will no longer require a password. Just press the button - enter. And when the system boots up when the computer is turned on, the password and welcome screen will not be requested at all, but the desktop will immediately load. Fast and convenient!

And lastly, this is a video about microsoft local recording. Since there is not much information on this topic, I found a solution ...

Microsoft account - how to disable in windows 10?

The topic was divided into 2 stages:

1. First, the account is deleted from the computer itself.
2. Deleted from the site itself (Microsoft server)

The first step is shown in the first part of the video.

And here is the second stage, in more detail ...

Instruction:

1. Go to https://account.microsoft.com

3. After that, on the SECURITY tab, you need to find the ADDITIONAL SECURITY SETTINGS item

4. And the next steps, request a special code to verify the account that it belongs to you. Click SEND CODE. The code comes quickly, and we enter it in a special field, as shown below ...

5. The fifth step, at the very bottom, after going to the next page (you may need to press the button - CONTINUE), and then the item - "Account Closure", which is at the very bottom of the screen. And select the link - "Close account".

6. You will be warned again and told that the final closing of the account is carried out after 60 days. expectations. But that's not the point! You will read the information in detail, and click the button - NEXT. As shown below...

That's all the steps. In fact, I would not have needed the last step if I had not created a microsoft account through xbox. So I had to deactivate it.

The most interesting thing is that the problem with the mouse was not entirely in conjunction with the xbox settings. Because, this is more of a setting for gamers.

Oh well)) ... One event with the mouse made me figure out another problem and write about it on the blog pages.

I found new ways for myself that speed up windows 10, as well as how to find quickly suitable drivers for all computer devices so that they are without errors in the system and conflicts. After all, but the problems associated with the top ten are periodically noticed. Especially when the processes in the system are densely loaded.

I want to tell you everything. Write below how important it is for you to know? ...

As for the workload of Windows with various processes and programs that can slow down its work, this is not necessarily a problem with RAM. It is likely that the glitches are software-related. The same hard drive may give errors that you are not aware of. Everything needs to be checked and corrected periodically.

In the next releases, there is something to talk about.

By the way, about programs such as Photoshop or dreamweaver - after all, they can also load your system quite well. Especially when you surf the Internet in parallel, and 30 tabs are open, and 3 more browsers are additionally launched to check client sites.

So it turns out that the system can be very heavily loaded with tasks, and Windows will cope, but somewhere the first problems will begin. And it's especially bad when the computer freezes at all, and you turn it off in an emergency. And here, after another failure, it may turn out that Windows will not start. Or something else breaks in the system and the password needs to be re-entered.

In general, write below what is wrong with Windows 10. We will figure it out together.

How to remove a password from a Windows 10 computer? Knowing this you can simplify the task of your login.

By default, desktop PCs and laptops that have Windows 10 installed require a password to be entered for their accounts or local accounts when enabled.

As a rule, this combination of password characters is selected during system installation to increase the security of confidential information stored on a computer that is shared with several users at once.

Therefore, if protection interferes, and you want to disable the password prompt, you should use one of the options for setting up automatic Windows 10 boot to go directly to the desktop.

Pros and cons of passwordless login

The main advantage of passwordless entry is quick access to the system.

No need to remember passwords and spend time entering them; PEvery time you turn on your computer, this saves valuable time, and most importantly, you will never lose your password and access to your data.

Among the minuses, it is worth noting the simplification of access to a computer by other people - at home, for example, it can be children.

Removing a password

The principles of setting up Windows 10 login are not too different from the actions that are performed in previous versions - Windows 7 and 8.

At the same time, it is recommended to remove the protection of the entire system and individual accounts only in cases where only one person uses the computer.

If there are several users, it is worth leaving passwords on other accounts.

There are two main ways to remove the password in Windows 10:

• through the registry
• through accounts.

In addition, the password can be removed not only for the account, but also for the local record. And also - remove a similar function when exiting sleep mode.

The account method

Using Windows 10 accounts is the easiest option to reset your password. The main steps will be as follows:

• open the Run window by pressing the Win + R combination;
• enter one of the commands in the dialog box - netplwiz or control userpasswords2;
• press "Enter";

• select the required user in the account window that opens and uncheck the box requiring a username and password;
• click the "Apply" button;

• in the automatic login window, enter the previously set password twice to confirm your rights to remove it;
• click OK.

Advice! After completing all the steps, you should make sure that the checkbox for requiring a password has disappeared. Rebooting the system will allow you to finally check this.

Removing a password through the registry

In cases where automatic passwordless login cannot be configured for some reason, you should use the second option - the registry editor.

For this you need:

• open the editor using the "Run" window, called by the Win + R key combination;
• enter the regedit command;
• press the enter key;
• when a window appears asking you to make changes to the system, select the “Yes” option.

• in the registry, go to the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" section;
• open the subsections SOFTWARE, Microsoft, Windows NT, CurrentVersion and Winlogon in turn;

• find the DefaultUserName parameter in the right column of the editor, double-click on it and check if the name of the account for which the password is being changed is in the value field;
• select the parameter called “DefaultPassword” there or create it if it has not been created yet. To do this, click the "Create" button and select the "String parameter" value. Enter the password in the "Value" field;
• enable the ability to automatically log into the operating system by finding another parameter - "AutoAdminLogon". This value is zero by default and must be changed to one for passwordless entry.

After restarting your computer, Windows 10 should start without you having to enter passwords.

However, due to the complexity of this method and the possibility of modifying the registry, it is better to use the first technique first.

Disabling the password for local writing

Using a local account, which limits the user's capabilities, but is often necessary for a work computer, you can also remove the password when logging into Windows.

After that, even a system locked with the Win + L keys does not require a password. All that is required for this:

• launch a command line (requires login with an administrator account);
• enter the net users command and pay attention to how the username is displayed;
• repeat the input again using another command - "net user username";
• press Enter.

After the command prompt is closed, the Windows 10 user is able to log in without using a password.

Removing the password to wake up from sleep mode

In addition to entering a password when logging in, the security requirements of Windows 10 lead to the need to request a fifteen-digit code when exiting "sleep mode".

However, on a home computer, such protection is practically meaningless.

And in order to get rid of it, you should use a special setting in the accounts menu.

To change the logon options, you must set the value to "never" in the section for choosing the time after which Windows asks for a password.

Now the exit from sleep mode will become passwordless and fast.

You can remove the password request when you turn on the temporarily blank screen in another way - using the "Power Options" item located in the control panel.

To do this, when setting up the power scheme, select the item for changing inaccessible parameters, change the value from "Yes" to "No" and click "Apply".

conclusions

By applying the methods of disabling the password, you will have at your disposal a system that does not require the introduction of a code.

Although, if it is possible for outsiders to access the computer, passwordless entry is not secure.

And the password is best left, as saving a few seconds of time is not worth the privacy breach.
