Passwords are important, especially if you’re using Windows 8 to share files within a network. For important files and directories, you’re going to want to make sure that only those with user accounts on your system can access your files. Or, if you’re extra security-cautious, you’re also going to want to make sure that your system is password-locked whenever you step away from your desk (via Windows’ Lock Screen).
But what if you don’t like having to type in your password each time you boot your computer? You can remove this part of the process – but still use your password to protect these other parts of Windows 8 – by hitting the combination of the Windows Key and “R,” and then typing “netplwiz” into the Run window’s field and hitting enter. Uncheck the “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer” option and click on OK.
