To remove Windows 10 user account password,[設定]From[サインイン オプション]Go to page and[パスワード]And[変更]Select and enter a blank password. You can only remove your password if you are using a local account instead of a Microsoft account. For security reasons this is not recommended.
Not everyone likes to enter their password every time they need to log into their computer. Windows 10 allows you to remove passwords without any hassle. The method is as follows.
Why shouldn’t you do this?
There are a few caveats to keep in mind before considering using the techniques described in this article.
- You must be using a local account for the password removal trick to work. If you are using a Microsoft account, you cannot remove your password. If you are using a Microsoft account and you want to continue to do so, you will need to convert your account back to a local account.
- Removing passwords from your computer can pose a security risk. Anyone can reach it by walking. However, you need physical access to do so. Having no passwords on local accounts does not make them vulnerable to remote hacking.
- By not having an administrator account password, in theory, malicious applications running on your PC can gain elevated access to Windows.
- If you only have one account on your Windows PC, it is better to set Windows to automatically log you in instead of removing the password, but it is still a problem. I’ll show you how to do that later in this article, along with the specific security risks that come with it.
Yes, that’s a lot of important caveats. The truth is that we generally recommend against Using these methods may still make sense in certain situations. Finally, we write about them because we have seen tips on other sites distributed without paying attention to the significant risks involved in these tips.

How to automatically sign in to Windows 10
Automatic login is preferred if there is only one user on the computer.
Note that this method also has security risks. First, the same applies as before. Anyone can access your computer and log in by themselves. In addition, if you enable it, Windows will store your account password on your computer where anyone can access it as an administrator. Again, if your computer is in a secure location (like your home) that only people you trust can access, this isn’t a big deal, but it’s not recommended for laptops you carry with you. It is not recommended to use a Microsoft account in place of a local account. We have an entire article detailing the risks of configuring automatic login that you should read before enabling automatic login.
