How to Remove the Startup Password in Windows 10

If you are bothered by the fact that every time you start Windows 10, it asks you for the password to enter the system, there are several ways you can remove it and not have to enter it again when you turn on the computer. 

There are many people who do not cope with having to type the password every time they turn on their Windows 10 computer. 

If there are more active users on that computer, it is not convenient to remove it, but if it is only you, it can be a way to save time when starting your session.

You should also bear in mind that if you do this on a laptop, the chances of someone entering the system multiply, so it would not be very advisable to leave it without a password. But if after all this you still want to remove it, we’ll show you how you can do it.

How to Remove Password from Windows 10

System configuration

The most natural and simple way to remove your password is from the Windows 10 Settings menu, which you can access very easily by pressing the Win + I keys.

Once inside, you have to follow a few simple steps:

• Locate Accounts and enter.
• Click on Sign-in Options.
• Go to Password.
• You will see the Change button below the password option. Click to enter.
• Upon entering, it will ask you for your current password and then the new one.
• As we do not want to put a new one, after writing the current password, the next field where it says new must be left blank.

As you have seen, it is an extremely simple way to eliminate the startup password, as well as being fast in its execution.

Team management

In addition to the previous one that we have just seen, there are other ways to remove your password from your Windows 10 system.

On this occasion, we are going to use the Equipment Administrator to achieve it by doing the following:

• Press the Win + X keys at the same time and click on Computer Manager in the window that shows up.
• Now is the time to deploy everything in System Tools.
• The next step is to select Local Users and Groups.
• Click on Users, and in this way, a list will be displayed with all the users on your PC, having to choose a specific one (yours) or carry out these actions with each one of them.
• At that moment, click the right mouse button on the user whose password you want to remove and choose the option Set password.
• You must leave it blank and that’s it. You no longer have any active password to bother you when you start the computer.

User account

A slightly less natural and intuitive method than the previous ones, but one that is also effective, is to use User Accounts.

You must do the following:

• The first thing to do is press the Windows + R keys to open the Run window.
• In the space, type netplwiz and then click OK.
• The User Account window will open, where you have to uncheck the box for Users must enter their name and password to use the equipment.
• At that time, it will ask you for a username and password to verify that it is you and make the change successfully. And you won’t have to do anything else since when you restart, it will no longer ask for any type of password.

Suspend mode

Thanks to what we have told you, choose the way you choose. You will not have to re-enter any password to start Windows.

Where it may be that the system still asks you to do it is when instead of turning off, you opt for Suspend Mode.

It may be when you return to the computer after a more or less long lethargy from Suspend Mode. It will ask you to enter the password. So that this does not happen, you must carry out the following steps:

• Enter Configuration by pressing Win + I on the keyboard, as we have already seen in one of the previous cases.
• Now, go to Accounts to immediately look for Login Options.
• At this point is where you can remove the passwords when entering Sleep Mode by going to Require login, choosing Never in the drop-down that comes out.

In this way, it will no longer ask you for any type of password when you restart the computer from Suspend Mode.

These are the options you have in Windows 10 to remove the password at system startup or if you are in suspend mode.
