How can I remove the need to sign in with a password everytime my Windows 7 laptop broots, reboots or wakes up from the sleep mode?
Could removing the requirement cause any system glitches? I understand that the password requirement is to safeguard against intruders, nevertheless...

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Do this:
Start>>>Type, Run>>>control userpasswords2>>>Uncheck, Users must use a user name and password to use this computer
You will see no glitches.
Removing your password by way of your user account will have an impact on your Administrator account. I do not recommend it.

can't remove the Administration lost password in the Window screen. it prevents printing, download, websites. It is very difficult to get rid of the Administration unless I have USB flash device for the lost password. I tried them but said no working for the lost password. I must find out what kind of USB flash device for the lost password..
