I have tried all the recommended methods of removing a login password.  When I go to settings, there is not a "never" button to select for needing a password.  When I go to change password and try to leave the enter new password black, the systems says it is a required field.  I have turned off pin and "Hello Sign-in".  I need the password removed so the computer can start up and login into windows with a password.
