Bypass Windows 10 login screen

How do you bypass the windows 10 pro login screen so you don't have to enter the password? I have seen several comments where it tells you to go to netplwiz and uncheck the box but it does not show me the box to uncheck or any way of skipping the screen.
Hi Uteman

Open the Settings App
Go to Accounts - Sign-in Options
Choose to sign in with a local account
(in newer versions of Windows 10, this might be on the Your Info Settings Page)
Enter your old password and leave the new password box blank
Close the Settings App

That's It!
