Do you get tired of always having to put in your password when you are trying to log into your computer at home? There is a simple way to set up your personal computer to automatically login when you turn it on. Keep in mind that this will let anyone that turns on your computer into your account, so if you have private or secure information that you don’t want other people to have access to make sure that you keep using your password. If you are the only one that has access to your computer or you don’t have information that the rest of your family can’t use then let me show you this simple process to bypass the password every time you use your computer.
- Go to the white bar at the bottom of the screen or right click the Windows button on the Taskbar and click Run.
- Type NetPLWiz in the box and press the Enter Key.
- When the User Accounts box comes up Select your user account.
- Now Uncheck the Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer box.
- Click Apply.
- Enter your password twice in the Automatically sign in box.
- Click OK to close the Automatically sign in box.
- Click OK to close the User Accounts box.
Now restart your computer and it will auto login to your account without you having to put in the password.
If you have multiple people that access this computer you can set up one of the accounts as the one that is set to automatically login, probably the one you use the most. Then the other users can click the Windows button and sign out of that user and sign in to their user if they want to use that account instead.
