📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses methods to disable the password prompt at Windows startup for users who are the sole user and trust their environment. Drew first explains how to do this using the "control userpasswords2" command, cautioning against doing it on shared or portable computers. Kemical suggests a simpler approach using "netplwiz" to achieve the same result, which Drew confirms is equally effective. Overall, the conversation provides guidance on bypassing Windows login passwords, ending with a user expressing gratitude for the tips.

Many may, already, know this...

IF you are the only person accessing your Desktop PC

IF you have no reason to think it could or would be used by another person, certainly not w/out you knowing.

IF it 'demands' a P/W @ Bootup

IF you would rather not bother w/ that...

> cmd (Admin)

Type, control userpasswords2

Hit, ENTER

In the dialogue box, UNcheck the checked box (demands P/W or not)

In the (Name) dialogue box type P/W twice

Clk OK.

Clk OK. (in 1st dialogue box)

Do NOT do this if a laptop or ever, even possibly, a shared PC

Cheers,

Drew

I recently posted this tip but an easier way is to open the run app and type 'Netplwiz' without quotes. Uncheck the users must sign box and fill in your details.. Taa Daa!

Yes, either way works to accomplish the exact same thing.

Can, also, just type netplwiz on the Start screen ( somewhere)

Either gets to the check box. Thanks, Ross for we have now given people both methods.

Cheers,
Drew
