How To Remove Your Windows Login Password


Password protection for the computer is something no user can dispense with today. It is by far one of the most reliable security features known in an ordinary PC. Even though expert hackers and programmers can break into your system, it is quite difficult for a layman to get access to your files without knowing your system’s login password. But at times you may need to disable the password protection feature, so as to allow someone else to access your PC without too many problems.
Luckily for you, there is no need to visit any Windows Support for the above, as here we have listed down some simple steps to turn off the passworded login feature easily. Here is what you need to do.

Instructions

First of all, turn your PC on, and when the desktop screen appears, navigate to the Windows symbol that is found in the Taskbar and get access to the Startup Menu. You need to search the options given, and find the Control Panel menu item.
Enter the Control Panel settings page, where you will see the User Accounts and Family Safety option. Under this, you will find the User Accounts sub heading, and you will find another option under this menu item: to change your account’s password, or to remove the existing password.
Press the “Remove Your Password” option, and then you’ll have to authenticate the action by entering your current password. After that, you will automatically get the option to remove your existing password, and it will be accomplished in no time at all.
If you have an Administrator account, then you can easily remove the password of any other account that is present in your system, even if you do not know their passwords.
You need to choose the Manage Another Account option, which can be found in the User Accounts menu, and then you will see a list of all user accounts that have been registered in your PC.
Select the required user account and migrate to the Remove Password option, which you’ll find under that particular user account listing. Click on it to remove the login password easily.
The procedure outlined above is an easy way to turn off the Windows Login Password without much effort, and the best part is that you need not visit any kind of Windows Support service to accomplish the task.
