How can I remove windows 7 log in password? Please help.......

rizu · 16 Apr 2013

Dear members,
I am very new in this forum. Recently I have been trying to remove my windows 7 log in password. But every time I try to remove my password from control panel, a popup window appears saying that

Windows can not remove the password. Password and/or account policies require the account to have a password.

Could you help me out there? I have read a lot of tutorial to auto login the windows 7 . But what I want is to remove the windows password. The account I have been running is probably the administrator account. Hope I could find some help...

Thanks

You have to be the administrator, not probably.

Hi rizu,
i also had such kind of problem with by account. one of my friends mailed me these steps to cure this problem. I would suggest you to follow them and see what happens

Click on start, right click on computer.
Click on manage, under local user and groups, click on users.
Right click on the account you want to delete the password, and click on the properties.
Check if “User cannot change the password” has a check mark.
If yes, then uncheck “User cannot change the password” and ok.

please reply me it helped you.
