How to Turn off Windows 10 password / pin

Hello,

 This is one way to do it:

1. Press Windows Key + R
2. Type netplwiz
3. Then uncheck Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer. 
4. Click OK.
5. Then just type in your username/password.
6. Restart.

Hi and thank you for the tip.

However, I've done just what you suggested and it still requires me to put in a password. I go and look and it says no password required.

Also have the screen sleep issue.  I have it set to sleep after an hour and it sleeps after 30 seconds. It won't change.

UGH....

Im having the same problem sorta...

I realy want to turn off the pin/password screen.I do not require it!

My computer wont sleep to save power.Like when i fall asleep the pc just stays on but i was having that problem before with windows 8.1.I Have changed setting (etc) nothing works.

I recently wrote that the info for disengaging password start worked- actually, it didn't! I had tried to test it by hitting "sleep" and I got back on without the password. But when it actually slept on it's own, the password was still required!

Dang. I went through the steps a third time and the setting I gave was still there: no password required. I even restarted the computer and still- I need a password.

AND- I too have the issue of the "sleep" happening very quickly, even though my settings are for much longer.

that's happened with Window 8.1 and with the upgrade to 10.

I will read more to see if anyone else has had success, but wanted to add register that yet  another user is having the same problems.

Thanks for any help...

I don't think you followed the directions correctly

I see your post is old and I hoped you resolved by now but for benefit of new users of Win 10 I will answer anyway....

I never use PW on my personal  home comp and don't want to

which worked fine upon install and use UNTIL I signed up for photo application

Then the login screen required my Hotmail address for MS account with password needed

I FINALLY FIXED IT

and not with suggestion here for netplwiz, which failed multiple times

• Control panel
• User accounts
• forces you to verify and sign in to email one more time (what we are trying to get rid of)
• Remove email account as default user
• choose your local comp name
• will ask for a new password (we don't want it)
• LEAVE IT BLANK
• goes to login under your original name
• no password!!!!!!! needed anymore

waiting to see if a sign in to apps reverses this fix
