How To Create a Local Account Without Password – Windows 10

Sometimes we create passwords and we think that we would never forget them. However, actually, after a week or two, we end up forgetting the password and go through the process of recreating a password. Without a password, it becomes difficult to assess your account.

However, in many cases, you can recover/reset the password by using the “Forgot Password” option. It is always recommended to have a password-protected account to protect your personal and sensitive information.

However, there are cases when we do not want to have an account with a password such as when you are the only user of your laptop/PC or you want to create a family account that is accessible to everyone in your family, etc.

In Windows 10, it is possible to make a local user account without a password. You must have a Microsoft account, and only then, Windows 10 will allow you to create a local account without a password. Moreover, you can also remove the password from your existing account.
