Starting with Windows 8 and continuing into the modern Windows 10, users must type their password before logging into their account after booting or when switching user accounts. This Windows 10 password login screen will appear by default for any user account with which a password is associated.

While strong account passwords are important to maintain the security of your device, not every user wants or needs to enter their password every time they boot their PC. Thankfully, an option exists for users to disable and bypass the Windows 10 login screen, thus automatically log directly into their account when booting. Here’s how to do it:

First, log into your Windows 10 user account as you normally do by entering your password at the login screen. Next, click Start (or tap the Windows Key on your keyboard) and type netplwiz. The “netplwiz” command will appear as a search result in the Start Menu search. Hit Enter on your keyboard or click on the resulting start menu option to run it, and then follow the simple steps outlined in the tutorial above.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 10 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, and Samsung).

Never thought i'm gonna watch a disable lock screen tutorial :| why do people make everything hard

[SterlingHyde]

really annoying.. the setting should just be ON OFF

[michelpomerantzeff]

Works like magic. I have seen at least 10 different videos about how to get this done and this was the only one that worked ... Quick and straight to the point! Well done !!!

I notice this video is from 5 years ago and I only had my laptop for around 2 years. Though the setup is different than what is in your video I had hardly no problems getting to what I want to know. However there is NO "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" and a box to uncheck. Otherwise everything in the Users Account box is the same. Do you have any other suggestions how I can disable my password? You did a great job of explaining everything but apparently your windows set up is a bit different than mine.

It's amazing that I had to type in some crazy thing into the search just to turn off the password. It should've just been right there in the "sign-in options"

unless ur in a place where someone is trying to get into ur PC, passwords are useless lmao. good video

[chrisheffernan]

My computer made me sign up for a Microsoft account. What you told me wouldn't work at first. The login screen made it look like I had 2 users, which was really strange. To make a long story short, I converted my account from a Microsoft secured to a Local account, then the password delete option worked like a champ. Thank you so much for getting me pointed in the right direction.

So for me, when I run the netplwiz command, there is no checkbox to uncheck. That box and that sentence just arent present in the UI. Is there anyone that knows a solution to this? I am on an administrator account so that can' t be it.

Windows 10 made it so complicated by demanding you to create an account & password. Jeez, I don't want a freakin password lol

[joshy]

Instructions unclear im locked out of my fridge

[clivegouldthorp]

What a blessing to find this short and effective video to get rid of an annoying and counterproductive process of needing to fill out the complete password every time. Thanks, just what I was looking for.

[foxwolf]

EXACTLY what I needed and very good straight forward video. THANK YOU!

[camos]

Thank you for this tutorial. Can’t believe they made it so difficult to remove a password-login.

Also a big ”F You” to Microsoft.

[Abrar-mppe]

they made me create both pins and passwords when i reinstalled windows and i just wanna get rid of those but cant do so

[yatesy]

Finally, Ive been trying to figure how to do this on my own for hours. Microsoft has really made it hard to do a lot of these small things

In the morning I usually turn the power on my PC before I go make myself breakfast, but when I'd get back it would be stuck on the login password screen, which was pretty pointless since I live alone now. Then I'd have to wait a while for my PC to "wake up" and get to normal operational speed. Now I can just press power and all my stuff automatically launch (which always takes a long time) while I'm busy doing stuff. Thank you so much! I dunno why Windows has got to make simple operations like this so complicated.

"now when we restart our computer"... (10 years later) lol
Good vid though thanks.

Did they change this with the latest update? I used to not have to log in with a password. Updated, then had to log in all of a sudden. Box is unchecked in netplwiz. Frustrating

[Reuben]

User must apply user name and password check box did not appear for me why??

[BevvyTV]

when i go into the netplwiz thing theres is no option for me to uncheck the box, did microsft do some kind of update or am i missing something
