When you use Windows 8 with a Windows Live account, you get 100% of the Windows 8 possibilities. But if you’re only using your computer or a computer that is shared with people you trust, you’ll soon get tired of having to type your password at Windows startup. There is a solution to start the computer with a default profile without entering a password at startup of the PC and in this tutorial I will show you how to do that.

To get started follow steps below:

Step 1: Bring up the Charm menu by pressing Win+C on your keyboard and then select Search

Step 2: Inside search type run and press Enter on your keyboard.

Step 3: Then type in the window that opens: “control userpasswords2” and confirm by clicking Ok.

Step 4: A new window will appear with options to customize accounts, uncheck “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer“.

Step 5: By clicking OK, another window will ask you to enter information that will be used to open the computer to the default session.

Step 6: Enter your Windows Live username and type your password two times in required fields.

That’s it! You can access your computer from its start without a password to enter!

Note: Follow this only if you are a secured environment. Enabling this on shared computer will compromise your security and privacy.
