The most popular and widespread operating systems on users' computers are Windows XP and Windows 7. For security reasons and sharing access to resources and documents, they use a password request system when the computer is turned on, and sometimes even after it resumes from standby mode. This can be useful for those who are not alone in using the capabilities of a PC. And for those who do not need to protect their data, or to speed up the system boot process, it will be useful to disable this function.
