Windows 8.1 Password Won't Die!

[SYakoban]

Hello!

I do not want to enter a PW every time that I log into windows 8.1. I have looked up multiple methods on how to eliminate the need for a PW and nothing works. I've tried from the command line (likeNetplwiz) and through user settings, still a PW is required.

In many tutorials it says to uncheck the box "User must enter a user name..." It has been unchecked so I can't uncheck it again.

Anyone seen this before? Thoughts?

Time to call out the big guns. Fantastic freeware program called "Medicat USB" (duck duck go it) follow the instructions and build the USB stick with all the utilities you will ever need. Some great password removal/alteration utilities among others. You will wonder how you ever got along without it.

Medicat USB is a wonderful thing to have in your armoury (20GB to download). I went for reinstalling Windows 8.1 offline and skip password page completely. Lots of software to clean your computer can be circumvented my just wipe and reinstall, simple soul that I am

Believe me if you are a Windows hobbyist, you definitely need MediCat USB in your toolkit. A custom set of programs from PortableApps.com makes a good compliment of handy programs as well.

Have you tried a Password removal tool from a bootable USB https://www.isunshare.com/windows-p...windows-password-with-usb-device.html#option1

Anyway, The OPTIONS ABOVE this post usually work just fine. Good Luck
