[SOLVED] How do I remove the password for startup screen and lock screen?

[guymarshall]

I really want to get rid of the windows 10 password for logins because it is extremely annoying, I have looked online and many people say I should use WINDOWS+R > netplwiz, but it never works. Is there any way to get rid of microsoft's force on password use?

I've tried that before and just now and it says "this information is required". If I reenter my old password it says that message under the create password box.

If you are linked to an online account - you must have a password.

You can create a use a PIN number so you can just type in numbers from the number key pad. I use that at home for quicker log ins. Even for a local account w/ a password you can create a PIN. Also - even if you use the same WindowsID to log into your Win10 - each device can have a different local PIN number.

I think the only way to not have a password is to create and use a local account for logging in. If you use a local account that already has a password - you can't "update" it to a null password.

Is there any way of creating a local account and using it on my pc with all my files etc??
