@Jkirkco,

 

Thank you for posting your query on HP Community,

 

Let's try these steps here: 

 

Option 1: Remove Windows 10 sign in password with command on login screen.

 

1. Click the ease of access icon, and Command Prompt is open.

2. Type the net user command to remove Windows 10 login password.

Type command "net user <username> *" and press Enter twice, and the user password will be removed.

3. Close Command Prompt window and sign in Windows 10 without password.

 

Option 2:  To remove the password from Windows 10, just follow these simple steps.

 

1. Type netplwiz in the search box at the bottom left corner of the desktop. Then click on “netplwiz” on the pop-up menu.

2. In User Accounts dialog box, uncheck the box next to Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer. Then click OK button.

3. To ensure the operation is authorized, you are required to enter and confirm your password. Enter Password and Confirm Password, then click OK button.

4. Restart your PC then you can log in without using a password.

 

Option 3: Remove Windows 10 Password after Signing in with Administrator

 

1. Click Start from right edge of the desktop screen, and choose Settings > Accounts.

2. Tap Sign-in options and under Password, click Change.

3. Verify the current password for your administrator.

4. Leave the New passwordReenter password, and Password hint fields blank. Click Next and then tap on Finish to remove current user password.

Now if you sign out and try to sign in with the same administrator again, you will find no password is required to access Windows 10 computer.

 

Let me know how it goes for further assistance.
