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

    I only have an administrative account. Following these instructions I found these results:

    Option 1: "netplwiz" - The “User must enter a user name and password to use this computer” option does not exist. There is a box, instead, which reads "To change your password, press Ctrl-Alt-Del and select Change Password." Yet this only allows for the change of a password and not the removal of a password.

    Option 1b: "Settings > Accounts >" - “For improved security, only allow Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts on this device” option is nowhere to be found.

    Option 2: "Account settings" -  “Sign in with a local account instead” option is nowhere to be found.

    HOW is removing a password this complicated and seemingly inconsistent?

    To set up your HP laptop so that you don't need to enter a password or Windows Hello PIN to access it, you'll need to adjust your sign-in options. Follow these steps:

    1. Open Settings:
      • Click on the Start button or press the Windows key, and then click on the gear icon (Settings) in the left sidebar.
    2. Go to Accounts:
      • In the Settings window, click on "Accounts."
    3. Navigate to Sign-in Options:
      • In the left sidebar, select "Sign-in options."
    4. Adjust Sign-in Options:
      • Under the "Password" section, you should see an option that says "Require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts." Make sure this option is turned off.
      • If you have removed the Windows Hello PIN, ensure that the "Windows Hello PIN" section is not configured. It should show an option to "Add" a PIN if it's not set up.
      • In the "Require sign-in" section, you can choose "Never" to allow your computer to start without requiring a password after it has been idle.
    5. Adjust Power & Sleep Settings:
      • Additionally, you can adjust power and sleep settings to ensure that the computer doesn't go to sleep or lock after a certain period, which might require you to enter a password upon waking.
      • Go to "System" in Settings, and then click on "Power & sleep." Adjust the settings under "Sleep" and "Screen" to your preference.
    6. Restart Your Laptop:
      • After making these changes, restart your laptop to apply the new settings.

    After completing these steps, your HP laptop should start without requiring a password or Windows Hello PIN. Keep in mind that for security reasons, it's generally recommended to have some form of authentication on your device. If you're comfortable with it, you can choose the "Never" option under "Require sign-in" for convenience. However, be aware of the security implications of doing so, especially if your laptop is used in a shared environment.
