    Removing the password


    I have been trying to remove the need to input a password when waking my computer from 'Sleep' mode.

    I have followed the procedures that I have found on-line but it still doesn't seem to work.

    I am obviously using Windows 10 and I recently did a new 'clean install' and so I imagine that the version is pretty much up-to-date.

    Any thoughts anyone?

    Many thanks.

    Go to all settings/accounts/sign in options....then require sign in/in the drop down menu, select never.

    Thank you for trying to help. I can't find the option that you mention. Hopefully I will have attached a shot of my sign-in options page for you to see.

    It's right above your "Windows Hello" ........very top right.

    Thank you Plankton, I've now done that and so hopefully it will be sorted. Thanks for your patience, much appreciated.
