    Logging onto Windows without password


    When I try to use netplwiz, the user accounts window comes up and when I try to select my account to remove the check mark "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" I cant. Theres 3 accounts listed Administrators, Guest and mine (Administartor as well)
    I cant select either of the other two
    It was working "logging onto my account without input of password"
    I had forgot my login password (knew my pin) so I created an Admin account to log into so as I could change the password of my account. I now cant delete the new Admin account

    OK I want to be able to turn my computer on and be logged into my account automaticly
    When I use the netplwiz option in the user account there is no box to uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password"
    There is 3 accounts listed but I cant select any of the accounts
    Looks like the window is greyed out

    Please see the note box under step 4A like in option one of the tutorial below to see if that may be the issue.

    Sign in User Account Automatically at Windows 10 Startup

    If you turned on Require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts (aka: passwordless sign-in), you will not see the Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer check box.

    If your PC is currently joined to a domain, then the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer." box will not be available, and you will need to use OPTION TWO below instead.

    Did you turn off Require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts below to see the check box in netplwiz as indicated in the note box? You'll have to close and reopen netplwiz afterwards to see the check box.
