How to remove Windows password

When you start your computer, for security reasons, Windows always asks you for a user password to open. You can disable this feature very simply if you no longer want to have a password to enter at startup.

Precautions to take

The password when you start your computer helps protect your privacy and prevent unwanted people from accessing data about you. This is obviously essential in business because people could break into your computer in your absence for malicious purposes or simply to make jokes. On a laptop, this avoids data leakage and access to all your passwords in case of theft of the device.

On the other hand, on a home PC, as long as you trust everyone in your household, it may be legitimate to remove this protection. However, be careful in case of burglary because thieves will have access to everything.

The lack of security when starting a Windows 10 PC will not harm the protection against various malware on the internet. However, it will allow any user in physical possession of the PC to access all of its features! This manipulation is therefore to be weighed with caution, especially for a laptop.

If your computer is used by multiple relatives at the same time, it is possible to secure access to specific data by locking access to files by password.

In Windows 10

.Press Windows key R and type netplwiz.

.Uncheck the box "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer".

Your current account password will be asked to validate, enter it in the "Password" field, then click "OK" to validate. The next time you start your machine, you will not need a password to open Windows!

In Windows 8

At each login, Windows 8 asks for your password to protect access to your personal files. To save time and automatically log in, you can remove the Windows 8 password.

From the Home screen, type Windows + R to launch the "Run" window. Then, type control userpasswords2 And confirm with "OK".

Uncheck the box labeled "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer." After clicking on "OK", enter your password, confirm and confirm with "OK".

Once you delete your password,your session will now open automatically, you no longer have to log on to Windows when your computer starts.
