How to Bypass the Password Login on Windows 10

Windows 10

If you want to log in to Windows 10 automatically without entering a password, follow these methods to disable the password requirement.

Method 1: Enable Auto Login via Registry Editor

If the “Users must enter a username and password to use this computer” option is missing from netplwiz, you can restore it through the registry:

  1. Press Windows + R, type regedit, and click OK.
  2. Navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionPasswordLessDevice
  3. Double-click DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion.
  4. Set its value to 0 and click OK.
  5. Restart your computer.

Method 2: Disable Password Login via Netplwiz

Once you have enabled the option in the registry, follow these steps:

  1. Press Windows + R, type netplwiz, and click OK.
  2. Uncheck “Users must enter a username and password to use this computer”.
  3. Click Apply and enter your current password when prompted.
  4. Click OK and restart your PC.

Method 3: Switch to a Local Account

If you are using a Microsoft account, switching to a local account allows you to remove the password entirely:

  1. Open Settings (Windows + I).
  2. Go to Accounts → Your info.
  3. Click Sign in with a local account instead.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions, leaving the password fields blank.
  5. Restart your PC.

Method 4: Disable Password Prompt via Group Policy (Pro & Enterprise Users)

For Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise users, you can disable password prompts via Group Policy:

  1. Press Windows + R, type gpedit.msc, and hit Enter.
  2. Navigate to:
    Computer Configuration → Windows Settings → Security Settings → Local Policies → Security Options
  3. Find and double-click Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only.
  4. Set it to Disabled and click Apply.
  5. Restart your computer.

Conclusion

By following these methods, you can bypass the Windows 10 password login and enable automatic sign-in. However, consider the security risks of removing a password, especially if multiple users have access to your device.
