    How to remove admin password on start up


    I have two accounts going on. Guest account and admin account.

    How do i stop windows from logging straight into guest account?

    After logging out of guest, i log into admin and i have to input password. I have not found a way to log in admin without password.

    Also after entering password it asks me to create pin which i can just click on the x button to bypass this.

    Hi, first have you ever set this PC to log in directly to the guest account?

    This also describes how to stop that automatic login.

    How do i turn off require windows hello sign in for Mircosoft accounts? This is preventing me from seeing the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" check box.

    "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" ... i do not have this option showing because require windows hello sign-in is turned on.

    I do not remember turning this on but it is on and greyed out, will not allow me to turn off.

    At start up Windows will attempt to sign in as the last user that was signed in. If that was your guest and it is a local with no password it will go straight in. The simplest way to stop that would be to set a password for your guest account.

    Windows key + R type compmgmt.msc and disable the guest account You will need to do this from your admin account. You can also remove the group here but i would not recommend doing this.

    Windows Hello is trash too just turn that off and this will be part of your problem as its cryptography and pin sign in feature that no one actually really needs. The pin issue you have is from this. You can also disable all the other accounts except for your main acc if you are the only person that uses the computer and especially if that account is in the Admin group.
