Setting passwords for your computer is always recommended to ensure the safety of your data. But if you are bored of entering passwords each time you sign in to your computer, you can remove the login password in windows 11 and speed up your computer start time.
Generally, I suggest not removing the login password, but it might make sense to disable it in some cases. In the following article, I will write about the four methods you can use to eliminate the login password.

First method: Disable Windows 11 login password with the Registry
This method is critical but works for local and Microsoft accounts. It is good not to test this method first if you are not an IT professional. To remove the login password in Windows 11 through the Registry Editor, follow the following steps:
- Open the Run from the Start Menu or Search box.
- Type Regedit and click ok; windows will open it for you.
- Allow the user account to make changes if it shows up.
- Head to this path: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
- In the Winlogon folder, find the DefaultUserName string or create a new string by right-clicking on the Winlogon folder name and New > String Value.
- Name the new string DefaultUserName and double-click on it to open.
- Write the user name you want to disable its password in the Value data and click OK to save it.
- Find another string by the name of Defaultpassword or create a new string and name it as DefaultPassword.
- Double-click on DefaultPassword to open and set its value data as the password of the related account. Click Ok.
- Go and find the third string by the name of AutoAdminLogon or create a new one and rename it with Autoadminlogon. And set its value to 1 and save it.
Finally, restart your computer, and you will login into that account without asking about the password.
If your mind changed, you can go to the Registry Editor and delete those strings you created.
Second method: Use the user account panel to remove the login password
The second method is an easy way to disable the login password in Windows 11.
- Search Netplwiz in the start menu or search box and open it.
- Select the intended user name from the list, uncheck the radio button, and click ok.
- Now specify the username and password you want to sign in with automatically. Click ok to save the changes.
After the restart, you will notice that you log in automatically.
Third Method: How to remove the login password with Command Prompt
The command prompt is the third proper way to remove a local user’s password.
- Run the command prompt as administrator.
- Click yes if it wants the user’s permission.
- In the CMD window, write the Net user and enter to see the list of all the user accounts on your computer.
- Now write Net user UserName * and enter. (instead of the UserName, write the user name you want to disable its password)
- It wants you to type the password for the user. Do not write anything. Leave them blank and enter.
- Do not write anything in the confirmation as well, and enter. You will see the message ‘the command completed successfully.
It will not ask for the password if you sign out and sign in again.
Fourth Method: Remove the local user account password from the computer settings
The final way to remove the user account password in Windows 11 is using Computer Settings. To disable a user password through this traditional way, follow the below steps:
- Open your computer settings via the Start Menu.
- Click on the Accounts > sign-in options.
- Now click on the Password option to open and click on the Change button.
- Confirm your current password; click next.
- Another window asks you to write the new password; you should skip those without writing anything and click on the Next button.
- Finally, click on the finish button. You are done! You can log in to your computer without a password.
