I wanted to change the password that unlocks the computer when booting it up. It just takes more time than it should and what I have on the computer isn't that private. Also, I wanted to make a guest account for everyone else that needs to use my computer at the house. I just can't find the settings to do that, if anyone could help it'd be greatly apreciated. Thanks!

@SirRomo, welcome to the forum.

 

I have my computers set to Auto logon.  Like you, I don't need the security.  Here us a guide to help you set it up:

 

Automatically logon without password


This is the easiest way to automatically login to Windows 10 without entering the password.


Step 1: First step is to open Run command box by simultaneously pressing Windows logo and R keys (Windows+R). In the Run dialog box, type Netplwiz and then press Enter key.

 

Step 2: In the resulting User Accounts dialog, select your user account first and then uncheck the option labelled Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer. Click Apply button to see Automatically sign in box.


Step 3: In the Automatically sign in dialog, type your password and then re-enter the password to confirm the same.

 

Finally, click OK button.

 

Here is the guide with the above information.

 

You can go into the Control Panel / System and Security / User Accounts / User Accounts / Manage another account.  There you can setup a Guest Account.

 

Please click the Thumbs up + button if I have helped you and click Accept as Solution if your problem is solved.
