    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 to

    Screen Saver Settings - click it - untick "On resume, display login of screen".

    Start button - Settings - Accounts -Sign-in Options - Require Sign-in - set to Never.

    As the Microsoft Community is on a different platform, we cannot move the question for you.

    Hello,

    The Windows Desktop Perfmon and Diagnostic tools forum is to discuss performance monitor (perfmon), resource monitor (resmon), and task manager, focusing on HOW-TO, Errors/Problems, and usage scenarios.

    As the question is off topic here, I am moving it to the Where is the Forum... forum.
