During the installation of Windows 10 on a computer, you are voluntarily/forced to come up with a PIN code to log into your account. You won't be able to skip or ignore this setup step, but luckily, you can remove that annoying pin code later. Although I would not recommend leaving your computer unprotected if you have any important data stored there. But this is a completely separate topic, and today we will find out how to remove PIN and password in Windows 10.

How to remove PIN code in Windows 10

You can, of course, remove the PIN code in Windows 10 in different ways (although this is not a fact, I just don’t rule it out). But I'll show you how I did it. You should like this method because it is simple and straightforward.

However, it is worth reminding you once again that by removing the PIN code from your computer, you leave it practically defenseless. On the other hand, if you are sure that no one else except you will have access to it, then why not? But you can save a little time by not entering your PIN code every time you turn it on.

Step-by-step instructions on how to remove a PIN code inWindows 10:

We figured out the PIN code, but there is one more small nuance. Now Windows 10 will ask you for your account password at startup. And a password, by the way, is even less pleasant and time-consuming to enter than a PIN code. Therefore, next we will show you how to disable the password when logging in in Windows 10.

How to disable password in Windows 10

Before you disable your password in Windows 10, make sure you have it written down somewhere or remember it well. Because if you rarely use a password, you can easily forget it. And then, when you need it to confirm some settings changes in your Microsoft account, you will not be able to remember the password. Of course, it can be restored, but this is an extra hassle that no one likes.

Disable passwordWindows 10 when logging in:

1. To get started, press Windows + R. In this case, Windows is the key on your keyboard with the Windows logo on it.
2. In the window that appears, enter the phrase netplwiz to bring up the account settings item we need.
3. Directly in the “User Accounts” settings window, uncheck the “Require username and password” checkbox.

Next, click OK and restart your computer to make sure everything is applied. Oh yes, I almost forgot, to apply these settings, you will need to enter your password two more times to confirm that you are the one currently controlling the computer.

Personally, everything worked out for me. I'm almost sure you do too. Now Windows 10 will not ask you to enter your password or PIN when you turn on your computer. If something went wrong for you, write in the comments below, we’ll try to figure it out. If you managed to mess up very badly, then use it to return your operating system to its previous state.

Over time, the password set on the computer may become unnecessary, and then the user begins to want to disable it or delete it. There are several ways to disable the password when logging into Windows, but in any case, one condition must be met: you must be logged in under an account with administrator rights.

How to disable login password protection in Windows 10

Disabling a password, unlike deleting it, does not completely erase it from the system memory. It simply removes the command that forces your computer to prompt you for a password every time you try to log into your account. There are three ways to disable the password:

• editing system parameters;
• editing the registry;
• special third-party program.

A special feature is the method that allows you to disable password entry only when sleep mode is deactivated.

Disabling password entry: editing system parameters

This option is relevant not only for Windows 10, but also for previous versions of the operating system:

1. Using Windows Search, launch the Run program.
2. Write and use the netplwiz command.
3. If there are several accounts, select the one you need.
4. Disable the "Require username and password" feature.
5. Use the “Apply” and “OK” buttons successively.
6. A window will open in which you will need to fill in all the fields to continue the operation.
7. Confirm the action by clicking the "OK" button. Done, now the computer will start to boot on its own, without entering a password.

Stopping your computer from asking for a password: changing the registry settings

1. Launch Run via Windows Search.
2. Enter the regedit command and run it.
3. Using the folder tree that is located on the left side of the window, follow the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.
4. In the folder that opens, open the file DefaultUserName.
5. See if the name of your Windows account is written in the Value data line. If it is not there, fill out the field yourself.
6. Open it if it exists, or create a file called DefaultPassword.
7. If it is missing, right-click on the empty space to bring up the menu.
8. Select the “Create” section in it, and then click the “String parameter” button.
9. Rename the created file to DefaultPassword.
10. In the Value data field, enter the password used to log into your account.
11. The last step is to open the AutoAdminLogo file, which is responsible for self-login without asking for a password, and change the parameter in the Value data line from 0 to 1. Done, password use is disabled.

Cancel password entry: Autologon program

If none of the above methods helped solve your problem, you can try using a special program distributed freely on the Internet by Microsoft itself. This program is called “Autologon for Windows”, and you can download it from the following link: https://technet.microsoft.com/ru-ru/sysinternals/autologon.aspx.

Changing wake-up settings

If your account is protected, then by default you will have to enter data even when the computer comes out of sleep mode, which it enters quite often. This can get boring over time, and if you don't need such strong protection, you can disable this feature using one of two methods.

Through parameters

Using the control panel

1. Using search, open Control Panel.
2. Using the search bar, find the “Power Options” section.
3. Use the “Configure power plan” button, which is located opposite your power plan.
4. In the window that opens, select “Change advanced power settings.”
5. Click on the "Change settings that are currently unavailable" button. To use it you will need administrator rights.
6. In the window that opens, expand the section with the name of your account.
7. Expand the “Require password on wakeup” subsection and change the option there to No.

Removing a password

If you want not only to cancel entering your password, but to delete it permanently, follow these steps:

How to remove the administrator password

You cannot delete an administrator password in Windows 10 if you do not have access to this account. But by following these steps, you can bypass the ban:

1. Go to the official website of the developer of the Offline NT Password Editor application and download the program installation file. You will need the USB stick version. While on the site, go to the Bootdisk section, scroll to about the middle of the page and download the required file.
2. Turn off the computer. Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port. Launch the BIOS and set the “Via USB” option in the “Boot method” section.
3. When the program loads, select the hard drive on which Windows is installed. By default this is disk 1, but it is better to navigate by disk size.
4. You will be asked to confirm the path to the registry; press the Enter button on your keyboard.
5. You will be asked which registry key to load. Since we are resetting the password, option number 1 is suitable for us.
6. A menu will open in which we select the first option: Edit user data and password.
7. We decide for which user the password needs to be removed.
8. Next, select the Clear user password option. Ready! If everything goes well, the message “Password deleted successfully” will appear.
9. Now you need to save the changes. Execute the command “!” to exit the menu.
10. We execute the q command to exit the program.
11. The program will ask what to do with the changed data. Enter the command y.
12. The question will appear: New Run? Just press Enter on your keyboard.
13. We execute the last command - reboot, to restart the computer.
14. We take out the USB flash drive or change the startup order through the computer's BIOS. Done, all you have to do is log in.

Deleting a user account

Deleting an account is not disabling or deleting a password, but completely erasing all references to one of the Windows accounts. Be careful: all files, photos, videos and other elements stored in the deleted account will be permanently erased. If this is what you want, follow these steps:

1. Through Windows Search, open the Settings app.
2. Go to the “Accounts” section.
3. Open the “Family and other users” subsection.
4. In the “Other Users” section, select the account you want to delete.
5. Use the "Delete" button.
6. Confirm the action by clicking the “Delete account and data” button. Done, the Windows account is permanently deleted from the system memory.

If you no longer need the password set for your Windows account, you can disable it or remove it completely. In addition, there is a method that allows you to remove the administrator password without having the proper rights to do so. If you want to completely get rid of one of your accounts, you can delete it too by following the steps above.

How to remove the Windows login password? The Windows 8 operating system has an option to sign in using a Microsoft account. After updating the operating system, you may experience problems with the need to enter a password in Windows 8.1, because logging into the system without entering the password will not be possible.

Owners of copies of the Windows 8 operating system can upgrade their operating system to Windows 8.1 for free by downloading it from the Windows Store. There are a number of changes made to this version of the Windows operating system.

In particular, the “Start” button has been added, it is also now possible to boot the system to the Desktop immediately, bypassing the “start screen”, synchronization has been improved, etc.

Why did this question arise? During the process of updating Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, a situation arises when you will be required to enter the password for your Microsoft account if the Internet connection is active on your computer during the installation of the operating system.

A new installation of Windows 8.1 will also require you to enter your Microsoft account information if you are connected to the Internet during the installation process.

If there is no Internet connection, you will be prompted to create a local account. The local account password will also have to be entered each time before starting the operating system.

Sign in to your Microsoft account

When updating the system on my computer, a page opened asking me to enter my Microsoft account information. At the same time, there was no option to skip this step, because at this time my computer was connected to the Internet.

Two options were offered: maintain data from an existing account or create a new account. Since I had such an account, I entered my data and then continued installing the Windows 8.1 operating system on my computer.

After the installation of the system is completed, a tiled interface opens - the “start screen”. Now it is possible to immediately implement in Windows 8.1 without changing system settings, changing the startup settings with a couple of mouse clicks.

After finishing work on the computer, the operating system will be disconnected from the power supply.

When you start your computer again, during the system boot process, the “Sign in to your Microsoft account” window will open. The user will have to enter a password to log into Windows. This will happen every time you start the operating system.

You must have a Microsoft account on your computer to use the Windows Store, to access other services, and you can also log in to Skype using your account. Your data will be synced across all devices from which you log into your account.

If you log in using a local account, you will also be required to enter a password before starting the system.

Login using a password is made in order to increase security, so that no one other than the owner can access the system and computer user data. If the computer has only one owner, then constantly entering a password will be inconvenient and may annoy the user. If the password for the account is complex (as it should be), then it will be difficult to even remember it.

Therefore, you will need to solve the following problem: when starting Windows 8.1, login without entering a password at boot.

Login without entering a password in Windows 8.1

To do this, you will need to right-click on the “Start” button and select “Run” from the context menu.

You can open the “Run” window in another way by simultaneously pressing the “Windows” and “R” keys on your keyboard.

Then in the “Run” window, in the “Open” field, you will need to enter the expression: “netplwiz” (without quotes), and then click on the “OK” button.

In the “Run” window, in the “Open” field, you can also enter another expression - “control userpasswords2”, anyway, after this the “User Accounts” window will open.

Another way to get to user accounts: enter the expression “netplwiz” in the “Search” field, and after the search result is displayed, click on the application.

This will open the “User Accounts” window. In this window, in the “Users” tab, you should uncheck the box next to “Require username and password.” Next, click on the “OK” button.

This will open the Automatic Login window. In this window, you will need to enter the user's email mailbox address, then enter and confirm the password, and then click on the "OK" button.

Please note that in the “User” field, Windows enters the username (nickname) by default. If you use a local account or an account, you will need to enter different information.

In the “User” field you will need to enter:

• Local account - enter the user name (nickname).
• Account - enter your email address.

If you think that this is all over, then it means that you are too optimistic. After simply restarting the Windows operating system, you will no longer have to enter the password, unless the computer was disconnected from the power supply.

After you turn off the power to your computer, when you boot into Windows 8.1 again, you will again see the “Sign in to your Microsoft account” window, where you will need to enter your Microsoft account password.

Therefore, you will need to make some more settings. To do this, you will need to enter the system power settings.

Disable password prompt on wakeup

To enter, you will need to right-click on the “Start” button, and in the context menu that opens, click on “Power Management”.

You can also access power management from the Control Panel, as it is done in Windows 8.

In the “Power Options” window, on the left side of the window, you will need to click on the “Require password on wakeup” link.

This will open the System Settings window. In this window, you can see that in the settings for the power buttons and enabling password protection on wakeup, the items “Require a password (recommended)” and “Do not require a password” are not active. By default, the “Require password (recommended)” option is enabled.

To make changes to these settings, click on the “Change settings that are currently unavailable” link.

After this, you will need to activate the “Do not ask for password” option, and then click on the “Save changes” button.

That's it, now after these settings you will no longer need to re-enter your account password every time you boot the system. Logging into Windows 8.1 will occur without entering a password, and the account will not be disabled on the computer.

Conclusions of the article

The user can remove entering a password to log into the Windows 8.1 operating system for faster system startup on the computer if logged in from a Microsoft account.

How to remove the login password in Windows 8.1 (video)

Windows 10 login password is sometimes not required for a computer with only one user. It's too annoying to enter a code into your account every time if security rules don't require it. You can disable the password using the account manager and registry editor. To remove authentication upon startup, you must have administrator rights.

You can delete any rule using standard Windows tools. If you accidentally disabled some necessary options, you should know that .

Accounts

To remove the password request in one of the ways, you need to edit your account, which is done through a series of actions:

• Launch the Run window. To do this, press the Windows and R keys alternately. In the window that appears, enter the command control userpasswords2 or netplwiz.
• Next, the account setup starts. Here you need to remove the mark from the area highlighted in the figure. In this case, it is important to click on the account for which you need to configure the request.

It happens that it is not possible to disable identification when turning it on in this way. This may be because the account is already included in some domain. Then you should contact a special registry editor, from which you can delete any item.

Registry Editor

You need to understand that setting up your computer this way will result in the user's password being stored openly. Anyone viewing computer files can recognize the cipher symbols in this case. First you need to repeat the steps described above: open the Run window.

• We alternately press the Windows and R keys, which are located on the keyboard.
• Enter the regedit code in the window that appears.
• Next, you need to go to the window at the address: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ Winlogon.

• Once the specified area is found, you need to double-click on the AutoAdminLogon parameter.
• Set the value to 1 in this parameter.
• Open the DefaultDomainName line and change it to the domain name or computer name that is viewed in the properties of My Computer. If there is no such parameter, you can easily create it yourself using the right mouse button.
• Open the DefaultUserName line and change it to another one.
• Create a DefaultPassword line and set a value in it by copying the current user’s password.

Once all the steps are completed, you can safely close the editor and restart your computer.

Sleeping mode

There is a way to remove the account when you turn on the computer from sleep mode. The settings for this mode can be found if you open it in the notification area:

• All parameters tab.
• Select Accounts.
• Click Login Options.

A special window will open in which you need to set the Never option, as shown in the figure below.

It is also possible to remove the password request from the Power menu. To do this you need:

• Select an existing power supply scheme.
• Click on Set up power plan.
• A window will appear in which you need to click Change advanced power settings.
• Select the value as shown in the figure and apply the changes for the computer.

As you can see from the above, there is nothing difficult about disabling an account. You just need to uncheck the required items. Don't be afraid of the Registry Editor. You can easily create the desired parameter, or you can just delete it.

How to remove password from Windows 10 computer? Knowing this You can simplify your login task.

By default, desktop PCs and laptops on which Windows 10 is installed require entering a password for their accounts or local accounts when turned on.

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 accessible to several users at once.

Therefore, if security interferes and you want to disable the Password prompt, you should use one of the options for setting up Windows 10 to automatically boot to go straight to the desktop.

Pros and cons of passwordless login

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

No need to remember passwords and waste 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 disadvantages, it is worth noting the simplification of access to the computer by other people - for example, there may be children at home.

Removing the password

The principles of setting up a 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 protection for the entire system and individual accounts only in cases where only one person uses the computer.

If there are several users, you should leave passwords on other accounts.

There are two main ways to remove a 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 account. And also - remove a similar function when exiting sleep mode.

Method using accounts

Using Windows 10 accounts is the easiest option to remove your password. The main actions 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 accounts window that opens and uncheck the box that requires entering 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, make sure that the checkbox for the password requirement has disappeared. The final way to check this is to reboot the system.

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.

To do this you need:

• open the editor using the “Run” window, called by the Win+R key combination;
• enter the regedit command;
• press 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 SOFTWARE, Microsoft, Windows NT, CurrentVersion and Winlogon subsections in turn;

• find the DefaultUserName parameter in the right column of the editor, double-click on it and check whether the value field contains the name of the account for which the password is being changed;
• select the option called “DefaultPassword” there or create it if it has not already been created. 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 default value is zero and must be changed to one for passwordless entry.

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

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

Disabling the password for local recording

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

• launch the command line (requires logging in with an administrator account);
• enter the net users command and pay attention to how the user name 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 wake-up password

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 your login options, you need to set the time interval at which Windows asks for a password to never.

Now exiting sleep mode will be passwordless and quick.

There is another way to remove the password prompt when you turn on a temporarily dark screen - using the “Power Options” item located in the control panel.

To do this, when setting up the power supply scheme, you must select the item for changing unavailable parameters, change the value “Yes” to “No” and click “Apply”.

conclusions

By using password disabling methods, you will have a system at your disposal that does not require entering a code.

However, if it is possible for others to access your computer, passwordless login is not safe.

And it’s best to leave the password, since saving a few seconds of time is not worth the violation of confidentiality.
