How to Log In To Windows Without Entering a Password
While we think everyone should us a password (or a PIN in Windows 8x and Windows 10), we can understand why some people don’t want to bother with it, especially those who live alone or only have one user account on their computer and trust those who has access to it.
To setup Windows so you don’t have to enter a password to log in, follow there easy step-by-step instructions:
1. Press the Windows key + R
2. In the Run dialog type netplwiz and press Enter.
3. The User Accounts dialogue box will be displayed.
4. Uncheck “Users must a enter username and password to use this computer” press OK. You will be asked to type your password to verify.
Type your password, confirm it, then press Apply/OK. That’s all you need to do. Now reboot your computer — you won’t have to enter a password ever again unless you change this setting.
The above works on Windows 7, Windows 8x and Windows 10.
Hi Folks. Appreciate your professionalism in this wonderful website you’ve created for so many who love the jokes, the rants, and the many tips and advice. Been using Windows 10 for a couple of months. No problems until now. Tee Hee. Where is my Run command in Windows 10? I want to try you fix on “How to Log In To Windows Without Entering a Password” Keep up the good work.
A Booster
Type “CMD” (without the quotes) in the Taskbar search. Right-click when it appears at the top and choose “Run as administrator”. Not every command requires admin privileges, but many do. So as a rule of thumb open it as administrator and you’ll be all set for any command.
Sadly this didn’t work for me.
When I leave my computer on during the night, in the morning I find the computer has rebooted and us waiting for my password and it has closed everything….I could be working on a graphic or reading some research
Very, very frustrating
Thank you for this tip. Works and so happy about it.
I was glad to get this information, since putting in a password every time was really getting me hot under the collar. It works fine when I first log in BUT every time the laptop goes into “sleep” mode, I have to enter my password. What can I do to get it to let me go passwordless all the time?
