The instructions describe several ways to remove the password when entering Windows 10 when you turn on the computer, and also separately when you wake up from sleep mode. This can be done not only using the account settings in the control panel, but also using the registry editor, power settings (in order to disable the password prompt when waking up from sleep), or free programs to enable automatic login, or you can simply delete the password user - all of these options are detailed below.
In order to follow the steps below and enable automatic sign-in to Windows 10, your account must have administrator rights (this is usually the case by default on home computers). At the end of the article there is also a video instruction, which clearly shows the first of the described methods. See also:, (if you forgot it).
There is another way to do the above - to use the registry editor for this, but you should take into account that in this case your password will be stored in clear text as one of the values windows registry, respectively, anyone can view it. Note: below we will also consider a similar method, but with password encryption (using Sysinternals Autologon).
First, launch the Windows 10 Registry Editor by clicking Windows keys+ R, enter regedit and press Enter.
Go to the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon
To enable automatic logon for a domain, the account Microsoft records or Windows 10 local account, follow these steps:
- Change the value AutoAdminLogon(double click on this value on the right) 1.
- Change the value DefaultDomainName to the domain name or the name of the local computer (can be viewed in the properties of "This computer"). If this value is not there, you can create it (Right mouse button - New - String parameter).
- Change if necessary DefaultUserName to another login, or leave the current user.
- Create string parameter DefaultPassword and specify the password for the account as the value.
After that, you can close the registry editor and restart the computer - logging into the system under the selected user should occur without asking for a username and password.

After starting the program, all that is required is to agree to the terms of use, and then enter the current username and password (and the domain, if you work in a domain, is usually not needed for a home user, the program can automatically substitute the computer name) and click the Enable button.
You will see information that automatic login is enabled, as well as a message that the login information is encrypted in the registry (that is, in fact, this is the second method of this tutorial, but more secure). Done - you won't need to enter your password the next time you reboot or turn on your computer or laptop.

Entering a password is annoying. We have no secrets, and everyone who needs it is stealing data through the network. Fortunately, there are many loopholes for this, if you know the required HTTP protocol request. Access to all our data is open to hackers, and they constantly demonstrate this by hacking even government websites. And they do it without a password.
