Usually, during the installation procedure for Windows 10, an account is entered, which subsequently entails the need to enter a password each time you log in to the system.

This causes some inconvenience to the user, and if the code contains a large number of heterogeneous signs, then there are still significant unjustified losses of time. Windows 10 has several options for shutting down and quickly resuming its working state.

For example, every time you wake up from hibernation, the computer owner must enter a password. Below is a guide that will help you turn off the code request when logging in to Windows 10.

Stage 1. Log in to the "User Accounts" menu

You need to take the following steps:

Stage 2. Disable the display of the window for entering account data and code when entering the OS

In the main menu "User Accounts", enter the "Users" tab and here you need to uncheck the "Require user login and code set" section. Then click "OK".

Stage 3. Confirm to the system the seriousness of intent to deactivate the password request

Performing the steps in the second step will cause a menu to appear on the screen asking Windows to confirm the cancellation of the disabling code. The sequence of actions is as follows:

1. In the menu that appears, enter a valid code to enter Windows 10 in the "Password" field;
2. In the next field "Password Confirmation" enter the same code again;
3. Next, click on "OK".

Ready! Performing the steps prescribed in steps 1-3 made it possible to successfully disable the prompt to enter a code when starting Windows 10. Now, after loading the OS, entering the account credentials is not required.

However, after hibernation, the system will continue to request the code.

Below is an instruction in the form of "4 stages" to solve this problem.

Stage 4. Disable display of the code entry window when exiting hibernation

To remove the OS login code after hibernation, you need to do the following steps:

Everything! Now logging into Windows 10 does not require the user to dial a code. Following the steps in all four steps of the instruction made it possible to remove the interfering window at each booting Windows or after "waking up" the system.

The described method is not the only one. You can also remove the code request when logging in from the OS through the registry editor.

Alternative Methods for Solving the Problem

There are two additional ways in which you can also effectively get rid of the problem in question.

Remove password using registry editor

Additional effective method to remove the annoying request is to use the editor Windows Registry 10.

To do this, apply the following step-by-step guide:

Get rid of the user credentials prompt

In the case when the user uses a local account on the PC, you can remove the request for this data for a specific user. To do this, you need to perform several sequential steps:

1. Call the command line with Administrator rights;
2. Type "net users username";
3. Click "Enter";
4. Exit from command line;
5. Ready! The specific OS user will no longer be asked for a password.

Conclusion

As you can see, the process is quite simple to follow. Now the computer quickly launches the operating system desktop. No need to waste precious time every time you turn on your PC by simply skipping the login screen. From now on, the user will not be required to make additional efforts to memorize and set characters. But now the owner of the computer will need to take special care to prevent important information people who can unwittingly remove necessary files, for example, children, because to access the user's desktop now you just need to press the power button on the computer.

Microsoft regularly provides Windows users with built-in privacy tools. One of these "protective" tools is the ability to set a password for logging in. But the forced password entry is not always deactivated as easily as it is activated.

Ways to disable secure login in Windows 10

There are several ways to disable the Windows 10 login password. Most of them involve using the built-in system tools, but there are also those that involve the use of third-party software. Consider all available options.

Deactivating secure login through the "Options" settings

It is the most common and easy way to disable protection:

1. Go to "Start" and go to the "Settings" settings. The Settings window can also be opened by pressing the keyboard shortcut Win + I
2. Next, click on the "Accounts" icon.
   Required Settings"Accounts" can be opened by typing the appropriate request in search line Windows
3. Go to "Login Options" and click on the "Change" button (the "Password" line).
   The Change button is only available if you already have a login password set
4. Confirm set password.
   Clicking on the "Cancel" button will return you to the "Accounts" settings window
5. In the form to change the password, click on the "Next" button (blank lines do not need to be filled).
   After disabling the password, you may need to restart your PC immediately
6. After restarting the system, you will no longer need to enter the security password.

Deactivate the login password through the registry

The Windows registry is a whole database of system parameters, settings, personal data designed to ensure the smooth operation of the entire OS. Thanks to the "Registry Editor" you can directly disable (manually set the algorithm) secure Windows logon.

1. Bring up the Run window by pressing Win + R. Type regedit.
   "Run" can also be launched by right-clicking on the "Start" menu and selecting the desired option from the proposed list of tools
2. Next, follow the root directory to the category: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.
   The entire path done through the root directory of the registry is displayed at the bottom of the window
3. Find the line with the AutoAdminLogon file, open it and set the "Value" setting to 1.
   This parameter is responsible for access to administrator rights on your PC
4. Next, one by one open the files DefaultUserName (in the "Value" parameter, enter the user name) and DefaultPassword (in the "Value" parameter, enter the set password).
   If these parameters are absent, then they must be created (right-click on the workspace of the window - "Create" - "String parameter")
5. Exit the registry window and reboot.

When deactivating the OS security password using this method, the author of the article noticed one feature. Sometimes it is not necessary to make changes to the DefaultUserName parameter to successfully disable secure login. If there is only one account on the PC, then it is enough to edit only the AutoAdminLogon and DefaultPassword values.

Cancellation of re-unlocking the system when exiting "Sleep Mode"

The system may require additional password entry even after successfully disabling this feature. This can happen when the PC wakes up from "Sleep Mode". This is due to the fact that for "Sleep mode" there is a separate setting for the protection of personal data. To disable the feature completely, follow these steps:

The author of this article, using this method to cancel the password request from Sleep Mode, noticed that after installing any Windows OS updates, the settings in Login Options may be reset. But if you save them through the "Control Panel" / "Settings" / "Power Options", then the likelihood of such a system failure will be minimized.

Disabling "Secure Login"

"Safe Login" is an additional way to protect your PC from unwanted malware that can access the stored password database in the OS. The essence of the work of "Safe Login" is that after loading the system, the user meets the "Lock Screen", which can only be turned off by a combination of Ctrl keys+ Alt + Delete . This is a kind of additional login password. To turn it off, follow these steps:

   To disable the login password, be sure to leave the New Password, Confirm Password, and Enter Password Hint fields blank
7. Done, from now on, OS loading will become automated. You no longer need to enter a password.

Automated logon with Microsoft Autologon

Microsoft Autologon is a utility provided by Microsoft Corporation. With its help, you can configure the algorithm for automatically entering a password to enter the system. The utility will help those users who want to protect their PC with a password from third-party interference and not enter it manually every time.

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 carried out different ways: through a special console, command line or by resetting key data 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 persons who have access to files on the 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 most easy way disabling the entry of the access key on the OS - 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 convenient enough if physical access only one person has access to a 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 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 way setting 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 necessary to create a new account without 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 working group administrator;
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 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. There is also a copy of the file in question on the rescue disk, if given function for some reason it was not disabled earlier.

Editing given file to change the login parameters of the operating system is the most difficult way. To work with SAM, you need a 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 HDD FAT32.

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 started working with their PC relatively recently. The probability of harming the operating system in this case practically equal to 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 outdated models motherboards do not support launching from USB. In such a situation, one has to look for any alternatives: floppy disk, 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.

Synchronization of user data within the same account is a fashionable trend today, which has its advantages. Many log in Chrome browser under a Google account, thereby having their own browser settings on different devices(different PCs, smartphones). Microsoft provides similar functionality in its new operating systems.

During the boot of Windows 8 and 8.1 when working through an account Microsoft entry the system asks to enter the user's password, and so every time you turn on the computer. Of course, security is paramount today, but if the computer is used only at home and only by you, the need for constant authorization becomes irrelevant and begins to cause inconvenience.

How to turn off the password prompt in Windows 8.1 and 8 when you turn on the computer when working with a Microsoft account?

Wouldn't life be much easier without passwords? Not as safe, but much easier. It is not worth remembering a lot of numbers for everything we do on the Internet, and also waiting emails with reset confirmation and enter compound phrases into programs. However, life is not so simple, and passwords are used wherever possible.

Windows 10 users also can't get away from this problem, because to work with operating system a password is required. You won't be able to completely remove it. Even for a local account to work properly, you still need a "lock". However, there are easy ways to make signing in easier and reduce the productivity impact of a password.

By default, every time Windows boot 10 you will be prompted to enter a password, cancel the screen saver, or change user. All of this is customizable. Although it will not be possible to completely remove the password, we can still stop the login prompt after each Windows startup or cancel the screensaver.

On a note! There is a way to completely avoid passwords using a guest account. To get started, though, let's learn how to deal with the need to enter a password when logging in and on the lock screen.

Removing a login password

If you want the device to Windows control 10 booted without interruption, and the system did not bother you with a password, then rest assured that everything will work out. If you are the only user or allow other people to access the computer, do the following:

Now, every time you boot, Windows will stop asking you for a password and open the desktop directly. Keep in mind that if you entered the wrong password at startup, this will not work. If a repeated request is found, perform these steps again. To do this, check the box, add a password, restart your computer, uncheck the box, and confirm the action. Now everything should work.

Removing the password from the lock screen

Many people are probably more worried about having to enter a password after they left Windows 10 unattended for a while. As a result, the lock screen appears. It prevents unauthorized access to the user's workflow and personal files while away. In a business or school environment, such a feature is necessary, but at home it is annoying. Here's how to turn it off:

1. Go to the "Accounts" section. It is easy to find in the "Parameters" (gear in the start menu).

   

   

2. Click on the third tab from the bottom, located on the left.

   

3. Scroll down and look for the "Login Required" option. Select the option as in the following screenshot.

   

4. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on the "Lock Screen Options" text link.

   

5. In the right part of the window, find the text link "Screen Saver Options" at the bottom.

   

6. Make sure the box next to "Start at login screen" is unchecked.

   

You should now be able to boot into Windows 10 and cancel the screen saver without being prompted for a password.

Now that passwords have been removed (mostly), learn more about the environment and who can use your computer. As already mentioned, being the only user is completely normal. Otherwise, take reasonable precautions.

Using a Local Account to Remove a Password in Windows 10

The manufacturer doesn't want you to know this, but there are two types of accounts in the system. The first is the Microsoft account you need to sign in with, and the second is the local account. The latter has the same privileges, but does not report your activity.

To completely remove the need to enter a password in Windows 10, try setting local entry user. To do this, do the following:

Using a local account in Windows 10

There are a few considerations for using a local account that you need to be aware of. First, choose this type of profile only after Windows activation. Secondly, such a decision will affect the operation of OneDrive, Office 365, Windows Store and other applications that depend on your ID. The system will also delete any preference settings on the computer.

Important! One final privacy note, if you are currently signed into Windows 10 with local credentials and accessed the system storage, it will convert it to a Microsoft account. This automatically turns on tracking and all those annoying things that make the experience worse. Windows usage 10.
