    Removing Password?


    I just bought my wife a new laptop with Windows 10 home already installed. When I set it up with her Microsoft account, I used her MS password.
    But my wife likes things simple, and she would rather have the laptop boot straight into Windows without the need to enter a password.
    Can someone tell me how to remove the lock screen password so she is happy?:)

    Use netplwiz.....it doesn't remove the password but rather it bypasses it so you don't see it.
