Windows 8: Log in automatically without a password
- Press the "Windows" key and "R" on your keyboard at the same time.
- The "Run" window opens, in which you enter the "netplwiz" command and confirm it with "Enter".
- Deactivate the checkmark in front of the item "User must enter user name and password" (see picture).
- If you then click the "Apply" button, a window opens again.
- Now enter the name of the account and confirm the corresponding password twice. Then click "OK" and the window closes again.
- If you click "OK" again, your settings will be saved. The next time you start the computer, it is no longer necessary to enter a password.
- If you want to completely bypass the tile screen in Win8 and retrieve the tried-and-tested start menu, we recommend that you download "Start8" free of charge.
This practical tip shows you how to bypass the password query even under older versions of Windows.
