Disable Windows 10 Password

However, sometimes, you may not have such important things that you want to protect and need quick access to the OS without waiting for the login screen. For example, if you have a dedicated PC just for gaming with nothing except games installed, it is a good idea to save some time by turning off the password. So, without further due, let’s see how we can do that.
