Because nobody likes passwords, I guess.

Windows 10 password disable... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

What could possibly go wrong?

While you’re at it, here’s how to reset your luggage combination to “1111,” and how to write your PIN number on your credit card so it doesn’t wear of right away again...

How about disabling the Bitlocker password? Good? Bad? Even possible?

I’ve used this feature since Win8.1 - boot to desktop is very fast and typically 20-25 seconds from power on.

In Windows 7 you go to:
Start button> Run and type cmd or command and click ok
Type: netplwiz
Press the Enter button.

How would installing Linux solve this? Is Linux free?

I’m new to Windows 10 and I can state absolutely that it is the worst version yet. I’ve been a Microsoft user since DOS 2.0. I’ve been through Windows versions. I’ve given up hope that Microsoft will ever change their habit of junking good products for bad.

If I had not just bought a new desktop, I would switch to Mac. I am so disgusted with Windows 10 from main screen which is so gaudy to the difficulty in finding anything that was on previous versions. And the most frustrating of all, is their insistence on using IP address to determine your home location - and not allowing a default edit! A pox on you, Microsoft.

My pedestrian laptop, upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8, boots in 15 seconds, I enter a 4-digit PIN and I’m good to go. My wife’s laptop is the same, except it was upgraded from Windows 7. Windows 10 works great.

What’s the problem?

If you’re the only one using the computer at home , passwords are a pain . Yes, netplwiz is your friend ,but sneaky Microsoft will say your password needs to be updated

This is beyond a bad idea. The Windows login serves more than just local protection.

I’m going to go on record as saying this is bad advice and should be ignored. While passwords are imperfect, you should never leave your workstation wide open without a password. You’re just inviting trouble. Caveat emptor!
