Skip Password in Windows Startup

 


Sometimes it irritates to enter the password every time you log in to your Windows.


So why not skip that password, so that windows start without asking you the password.


If that’s the case then this is the right place for you to solve this problem.


Moreover this will not remove password protection of your user account, but will only skip the password screen at Windows startup.


To do this, open RUN from start menu, (Windows Vista & 7 (type RUN in search of start menu and press enter to open it)) OR press Win Key + R to open Run.



 


Now type “control userpasswords2” without quotes and press Enter.


A new window will open “User Accounts”.


* Remember that it’s not the Users Accounts which you access from control panel. It can only be accessed from RUN by entering “control userpasswords2” command.


BUT


Later I’m going to write on, how to place an icon in control panel to open this User Accounts 2 right from control panel.  


 


 


All you have to do now is to uncheck “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer”.


It will then ask for the password.


Provide the password and press OK and Apply.


It’s Done.


Enjoy… ;)
