Can I bypass Laptop login

BarbeeLT · 13 Jan 2012

My new laptop requires a password everytime I turn it on. I'd like to bypass it. I'm the only computer user in the house and I would prefer to not have to log in everytime.

Welcome to the forum,

This should solve that for you,

Log On Automatically at Startup

hi BarbeeLT, let me add my welcome too,

...or you could just remove your password...User Account Password - Change

Hi BarbeeLT ,do you mean as soon as the laptop is powered on ? or when it reaches the windows welcome screen ?:)

Yes, Pebbly.

thank you. I'll try those six steps.

I would strongly suggest leaving the password, as it keeps your computer safe from malware that would assign a password and lock you out. I can't imagine it being an issue to type in your password once or twice a day, but if you must skip that, follow the steps for automatic login, and make sure you remember your password.

wise words deaconfrost its no hardship keeping a password for the user account and using the automatic login more secure and safe
