How to Login Windows 10/11 without Password

May 13, 2025

Logging into Windows without a password can be a convenient option for users who prefer quick access to their systems, especially in a safe environment. Bypassing password protection can expose your computer to unauthorized access, so if your device is used in a shared or public space, or contains sensitive information, it is advisable to maintain password protection. If you use your personal computer in secure environments and want to set up your Windows system for password-free login, here is a step-by-step guide.

Step 1. Open the Registry Editor

Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog. Enter “regedit” in the text box to run the Registry Editor as Administrator.

Step 2. Navigate to the key

On the interface of the Registry Editor, navigate to the follow key:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PasswordLess\Device

Step 3. Change the value data

From the right-side pane within Device, double-click on DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion and change its Value data from 2 to 0. After that, click OK to exit.

Step 4. Open User Accounts setting

Open the Run dialog again, and enter “netplwiz” in the box.

Step 5. Tick the checkbox

On the User Accounts window, you can see the checkbox “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer” checked.

To login in your Windows without the password, select the correct User Name and ensure not to check the box. Click on Apply and then OK.

Step 6. Enter your password

On the Automatically sign in window that pops up, enter the password you use to login and click OK.

Step 7. Save the change

Click OK again to save your changes and exit.

Step 8. Reboot the PC

Now you should be able to login into Windows without the password. Restart your PC to check if your changes work.

Additional tips

While logging into Windows without a password can be convenient, it’s crucial to consider the security implications.

For those concerned about security but still seeking convenience, consider using Windows Hello, which offers options like fingerprint recognition or facial recognition for quick and secure access.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can set up your Windows computer for password-free login, providing a hassle-free user experience that best suits your needs and environment.
