Requests Microsoft account password

Typically, during the Windows 10 installation procedure, an account is entered, which subsequently entails the need to enter a password each time you log in to the system.

This causes some inconvenience to the user, and if the code contains a large number of heterogeneous characters, then there is also significant unjustified loss of time. Windows 10 has several options to shut down and quickly resume its working state.

For example, each time the computer owner exits the hibernation state, he or she must enter a password. Below is a guide that will help you disable the code request when logging into Windows 10.

Stage 1. Log in to the “User Accounts” menu

The following steps need to be taken:


Stage 2. Disable the display of the window for entering account data and code when logging into the OS

In the main menu “User Accounts”, enter the “Users” tab and here you need to uncheck the “Require user login and code” section. Then click “Ok”.

Stage 3. Confirm to the system the seriousness of your intentions to deactivate the password request

Performing the steps in the second step will cause a menu to appear on the screen asking Windows to confirm whether to cancel the code disabling. The algorithm of sequential actions is as follows:

  1. In the menu that appears, enter the valid code to log into Windows 10 in the “Password” field;
  2. In the next field “Password Confirmation” enter the same code again;
  3. Next click on “Ok”.

Ready! Following the steps prescribed in steps 1-3 allowed us to successfully disable the code prompt when starting Windows 10. Now, after loading the OS, entering account credentials is not necessary.

However, after hibernation, the system will continue to prompt for a code.

Below are instructions in the form of “4 steps” to solve this problem.

Stage 4. Disable the code entry window when resuming from hibernation mode

To remove the OS login code after hibernation, you need to take the following steps:

All! Now logging into Windows 10 will not require the user to enter a code. Following the steps in all four stages of the instructions allowed us to remove the interfering window every time Windows boots or after the system “wakes up”.

The described method is not the only one. You can also remove the code prompt when logging in from the OS through the registry editor.

Alternative methods to solve the problem

There are two additional ways by which you can also effectively get rid of the problem in question.

Remove password using Registry Editor

An additional effective method to remove an annoying request is to use the Windows 10 Registry Editor.

To do this, follow the following step-by-step guide:


Getting rid of the user credentials request

In the case where the user uses a local account on the PC, you can remove the request for this data for a specific user. To do this, you need to perform several sequential actions:

  1. Open the command line with Administrator rights;
  2. Type “net users username”;
  3. Click “Enter”;
  4. Quit the command line;
  5. Ready! The OS will no longer prompt a specific user for a password.

Conclusion

As you can see, the process is quite simple to follow. The computer now quickly launches the operating system desktop. No need to waste precious time by simply skipping the login screen every time you turn on your PC. From now on, the user will not need additional effort to remember and type characters. But now the computer owner will need to take special care to prevent people who could unwittingly delete the necessary files, for example, children, from accessing important information, since to access the user’s desktop now you only need to press the computer’s power button.
