I don't want a password

I got a new system yesterday. I spent the day installing programs. Then I went
looking for games. I'm using Classic Shell. I went to the metro screen with the
apps, found games and had to open a Microsoft account to get the games. That
included a password.

This morning when I went to boot the computer, it wanted a password. I'm lucky I
remembered it. I DON'T want a password to start up Windows. I've never had one,
don't want one, have no use or need for one. Now how do I get rid of it? Thanks
for any information.

In the words of Emily Litella, "Never mind!" I found it. Thanks.

good, now for the other million or so users with bad memories who
forgot the process, what is it. As I recall there is a MS Q&A which I
have forgotten.

If it's windows 8 0r 8.1, there's a way to bypass the log-in/password
bit.
Google search will probably find it for you

No, thank /you/ for not sharing the solution...

Are you keeping it a secret from everybody else?

Impossible to not have a password for a MSFT account, if you chose to
create one.

Sorry. It was this morning and I'm not very good at doing mornings. Anyway, what
I did didn't work. It didn't last anyway. I'm still getting the request for a
password. So something is wrong. No sense telling you all what I did if it was
wrong?

Sounds like you switched/converted a local account to a MSFT account
where the MSFT account was necessary to use/access the Windows Store app
(games).

Dump the MS account.

I used to have a t-shirt that said, "I'm not completely worthless. I can
always serve as a bad example."

The moral is that it can be valuable to know what doesn't work. According to
folklore, Heinz 57 had 56 failed recipes that came before it. :-)

Hi, Char.

And we use WD-40 because "Water Displacer 39" still didn't work. ;}

You probably didn't use either to protect your Atlas Missile's outer
surface from rust and corrosion.
