If you are using a Microsoft Account then you have to have a password though you can use a PIN. (Removing the login also dramatically reduces your Microsoft account security).
Start - Settings - Accounts - Sign-in options - PIN
Or you can change your account type (so there will be no password required to login) :

Or add another LOCAL account :
Start - Settings - Accounts - Your Account - you can add a Microsoft Account or a Work or School Account.
OR Same place - Family & other user

If you have a local account :
WinKey + X - Command Prompt (Admin) - type in -> control userpasswords2
OR WinKey + R = Run
Or you can type in --> netplwiz

Also you probably want to change these :
Control Panel - Power Options - Require a password on wake-up - Change settings that are currently unavailable - tick Don't require a password.
Start button - Settings - Personalization - Lock Screen - Scroll down toScreen Saver Settings - click it - untick "On resume, display login of screen".
Start button - Settings - Accounts -Sign-in Options - Require Sign-in - set to Never.Rob Brown - Microsoft MVP - Windows and Devices for IT - Windows Insider MVP : Bicycle - Mark Twain said it right.
