How to get rid of Startup password for good?

scotpowel · 07 Oct 2018

I have tried so many times. I disable sign-in password on "netplwiz" and "Sign-in options" And at first it works. But either a few days or weeks later, I get the sign-in password option again.(sometimes it pops up when the computer awakes from it's sleep without turning it on) I check "Netplwix" and Sign-in options" and nothing was touch, but always have to reset the settings to be able to get rid of sign-in options again. But in he end, it just eventually come back.

Is there a way for me to get rid of that for good? Is there a button on my keyboard that I am accidentally touching that's reactivating it manually or something? It's a little annoying to fix once in awhile.

Hello Scotpowel, Welcome to tenforums :)

First make sure you are using a local account.

Then simply follow this guide and remove the password

That should be it.
