Hi Ian,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.
 
I appreciate your interest in windows 10 and also for trying the troubleshooting steps to fix the issue. I understand the inconvenience you faced. I will help you with this.

I would suggest you to try to follow the below steps to fix the issue.

Follow the steps.

1. Press the + R combination on your keyboard.

2. Type control userpasswords2 then click on ok.

3. Make the UAC Affirmation.

4. Now switch to Users tab. Uncheck the option “Users must enter a user name and passwordto use this computer”.

5. Click on Apply. Now in Automatically sign in window type your password and confirm it.

6. Click on OK and that’s it. Now whenever you open windows, you will be automatically sign in.

I hope this helps.
Let us know the status of the issue so that I can assist you better.
 
Thanks.

If you log-in with a Microsoft Account, then AFAIK you cannot disable the password.

If you want a truly (insecure) log-on then you need to create a Local User account.

Thanks for reply.  I didn't make it clear in first post that after unchecking the box, and then another box came up I DID put in my password in the 2 spaces, that didn't work, so I tried leaving the 2 spaces blank, again no joy.

I think I know what has happened, since activating Cortana, Win10 has connected with my Hotmail account, rather than just being a solo user (no connected accounts).  Since Cortana, my user name Ian Hartland changed to my Hotmail email?  Why it did this I do not know? So if Win10 automatically signs in to an account, you have to enter a password.  Is this the reason?  I will try your procedure, not today, too busy, and I WILL let you know the outcome.  I suppose it is wiser to use a password, for security reasons.  If I had a burglary, and my PC was stolen, all my files, and security would be totally compromised! Thanks again Preeti.

Yes it is. Not just to deter anyone with physical access to your computer, but to help guard against malware and hackers.

To really secure your machine against theft or loss, you need to use some sort of Disk Encryption.

Windows 10 Pro and Ultimate have Bitlocker built-in.

If you have Windows 10 Home then the process is at the moment not available as far as I know...
