| | Re: password Start, type: control userpasswords2 hit enter Put a check in 'require users to use a password ...' and follow the wizard to enter your name and password. You can use a blank for password, but it's better to use one. Scheduled tasks you set don't run without a user password. -- click the Ratings button.

I would rather not have to log in to the computer with a password. Thanks Before I show you how-to, I just want to caustion you of your decision. One person who has no password to log on option, and now all of a sudden he is prompted to enter the password and he hasn't one. So, now he is locked out of the machine. There is , of course, a way to fix that. But it's going to be a pain in the butt. OK. Now here is how-to :- Control Panel, classic view > user accounts > click Remove your password > follow the instructions, then click Remove password. That's it. Reboot and see what happens. I would, if I may suggest, open an admin account with password, and put it aside. You don't have to use it at all. Just have it in the system----- just in case. |
