[SOLVED] Remove Login faliure lock out?

[chad2625]

I am pretty sure this is a core feature of WIndows.... But my son is Bipolar and ADHD. Some times he gets mind rushed, and forgets his pin, and locks out his computer. This is particularly no big deal, but when he gets like this it trigers him. My Partner or my self have to come log in him and clam him down. Sometimes, we see him building up, and take it away (or stop) before its an issue. He is 14, I have his pin, for this reason, but disabling it would be good. He has nothing to hide, some school stuff, and some facebook, and some other things he think I dont know about... I guess my point is, his computer, doesn't need this kind of protection.

If it isn't a core feature, Id teach my self anything i needed to know. I am a technical user im fluent enough in everything but power shell.

First, make sure you have an admin account that only you know the password for.

Second, I would also suggest that you don't give your son an account with admin rights. That will help with inadvertent changes being made without your knowledge.

See here for changing the requirement for a password/PIN at startup:
