How To Login In Windows 10 Without Password

by

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you either forgot your Windows 10 password or simply wanted to bypass the login screen for convenience? If so, you’re in luck! In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to configure your PC to automatically login without requiring a password.

Please note that this method should only be used for personal computers, as bypassing the password may expose your system to security risks.

Method 1: Using the User Accounts Tool

The User Accounts tool is a built-in utility in Windows 10 that can be used to modify user settings, including password requirements for login. Follow the steps below to enable automatic login without a password:

  1. Press Win + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.
  2. Type netplwiz into the box and click OK.
  3. In the User Accounts window that opens, select the user account for which you’d like to disable the password requirement.
  4. Uncheck the box next to “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.”
  5. Click Apply.
  6. In the Automatically Sign In window that appears, enter the appropriate user name and password.
  7. Click OK to save your changes and close the window.

Now, the next time you boot up your computer, it should automatically log in to the selected user account without requiring a password.

Method 2: Using the Registry Editor

The Registry Editor is a powerful tool that allows you to modify system settings in Windows 10. By editing the registry, you can enable automatic login without a password. However, please exercise caution while using the Registry Editor, as incorrect changes can cause system instability or other issues.

Follow the steps below to enable automatic login without a password using the Registry Editor:

  1. Press Win + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.
  2. Type regedit into the box and click OK to open the Registry Editor.
  3. Navigate to the following key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
  4. Double-click on the DefaultUserName string (or create one if it doesn’t exist) and make sure the Value data field contains your desired user account name.
  5. Double-click on the DefaultPassword string (or create one if it doesn’t exist) and enter the password for the user account in the Value data field.
  6. Double-click on the AutoAdminLogon string (or create one if it doesn’t exist) and set the Value data field to 1.
  7. Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer.

After completing these steps, your computer should automatically log in to the specified user account without prompting for a password.

Disclaimer

Disabling the password requirement for login may expose your system to potential security risks. We strongly recommend only implementing this method on personal computers where security is not a concern. Always use a strong, unique password to protect your user account and sensitive information.
