    Delete Password Requirement


    I am setting up an HP laptop with windows 10 for my 83 year old aunt. I don't want her to have to enter a password to get into the computer. Someone was helping me set it up and created an outlook email and password. I want to get rid of that requirement.

    When I go to netplwiz there is no box where I can unclick that users must enter a user name and password. I tried this on my own computer and that box came up just fine, but not on this new laptop.

    Can you tell me another way I can delete that requirement?

    The checkbox for "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" does not appear if "Require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts" is switched on at Settings, Accounts, Sign-in options.

    If you switch that off and redisplay netplwiz, the checkbox will appear:
