Eliminate sign in Windows 10

ttenneb · 16-08-2020 02:50PM #1

Attempts to eliminate either a password or PIN sign in on Windows10 has proven futile. Finally opted to close Microsoft account. Problem persists. Mentioned the account would close in 60 days to facilitate a change of mind but I still have to sign in. Do I have to wait 2 months before I can log in without signing in?

Just create a local account with no password and copy your data over to it.

Follow this to create the local account.

Then log out and of your current account and in to the local account.

As for copying over your files you can do that via This PC -> C drive -> users

and then copy from your old account to the new account. Don’t copy the entire folder but just the contents from inside it.

Run CMD as administrator, copy/paste commands below and hit Enter

This will create local user without pass, add it to administrators, pass never expire (NoPassUser is the user name, change to your liking)

net user NoPassUser /passwordreq:no /add
net localgroup administrators NoPassUser /add
WMIC USERACCOUNT WHERE Name='NoPassUser' SET PasswordExpires=FALSE

BTW, administrator user without password is bad practice.
