I am trying to setup my new HP LAPTOP and it asked to create Windows 11 - Hello PIN, I didn't want to have the pin but there was no option to skip it.

Then after the setup the Laptop started up and I went to SETTINGS> ACCOUNTS> SIGN-IN OPTIONS> WINDOWS HELLO PIN> REMOVE

Unchecked the Use Windows Hello for login option.

Restarted the laptop.

It now asks for the password I have for my Microsoft account.

I want to make it so that I don't need to enter any password or Windows hello pin to access the laptop.

Can someone help me out please?

Hi Rahul,

I'm Amr, an independent advisor.

Try these methods to remove Windows 11 password Login

  1. Disable password login on Windows
  1. In the search box next to the Start icon type netplwiz and click the top result to open the Control Panel applet.
  2. Under the “Users for this computer” section, select the account to remove its password.
  3. Clear the “User must enter a user name and password to use this computer” option.

Note If the option is missing, follow these steps

Open Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options and turn off the “For improved security, only allow Windows Hellow sign-in for Microsoft accounts on this device” option and reopen the netplwiz applet.

  1. Click the Apply button.
  2. Confirm the Microsoft account credentials to log in automatically.
  3. Click the OK button.
  4. Click the OK button again.
  1. Remove the password for the Microsoft account
  1. Open Settings then click on Accounts.
  2. Click the Your info tab.
  3. Under the Account settings section, click the “Sign in with a local account instead” option.
  4. Click the Next button.
  5. Confirm your current password.
  6. Click the Next button.
  7. Create a username for the account.
  8. Use blank for the “Password” and “Reenter password” options to remove the password entirely.
  9. Click the Next button.
  10. Click the “Sign out and finish” button.

After you complete the steps, the laptop will no longer connect with a Microsoft account and will log you in automatically every time you start the system.

I hope this is helpful. If you require any additional assistance, don't hesitate to respond to this.

Best Regard

Amr

    Yeah, the rest of this thread can be ignored. The comment from Viktor works for removing a password from an account.

    I needed to do this for a windows guest account on laptops that are loaned out for one day at a time. What I did:

    -Log into a local admin account

    -Open the Run box and type "netplwiz"

    -In the User Accounts window that opens, select the account you want to remove the password from and click "Reset Password"

    -The window that opens will ask for the new password and confirm new password **Just leave both fields empty and click OK**

    -That will remove the password from the desired account, you can then reboot and test

    What I did was...

    SETTINGS > ACCOUNTS > SIGN-IN OPTIONS

    Scroll down to Password

    -if it says "You're all setup", it means you are still required to enter password when starting up your laptop

    Click on CHANGE

    -you will have to enter your current password, then it will open up a new window where you will have to change to a new password. DON'T INPUT ANY PASSWORDS. Leave it all blank, then click NEXT.

    Restart your laptop. (This worked for me. No typing of passwords ever again. LOL)

    I tried this and it didn't work. Why did Microsoft remove the option to have a password or not? We know what we want or not!
