First of all, you should have an idea of what is Netplwiz and how does it work. A very handy feature that enables you to crack your Windows 10 password and this function is allowed for all new Windows versions afterward to Windows XP. Basically, the concept behind it is it allows you to disable or uncheck the password field that is required to get into Windows. I will not recommend this if you are using your operating system in the crowdy area because this will make your PC completely unsafe. However, if you are sure there are no security issues then you can go for this method.

Microsoft states that if you are signed into Windows 10 with a Microsoft account well, in that case, you might be unable to change the password from netplwiz and maybe you are asked to enter the password even if you have unchecked the Password box. However, out of hundreds of solutions to solve this problem, I will highly recommend Windows Password Recovery which can definitely remove the Windows 10 password even if netplwiz is not working.

Restart your computer or laptop and you will be never asked for a password when next time you log in.
However, if you decide to enable the login through the password feature again, simply repeat the process and mark the checkbox to confirm that the next time you log in you will be asked to enter the password.
