The Windows XP operating system assumes the setting of a password on the computer for data protection. The password is requested when the system boots or when it exits standby mode. If the need for data protection is no longer necessary, this function can be disabled.
Instructions
Step 1
Left-click on the "Start" button in the lower left corner of the desktop screen. This menu also opens when you press the Windows logo button on your keyboard.
Step 2
In the "Start" menu at the bottom right, find the line "Run" and place the mouse cursor on it. A window for entering the command will open. Here you can call the tool you need - the user account management console. The window for entering commands can also be opened by simultaneously pressing the button on the keyboard with the image of the Windows logo and the letter R in the Latin layout.
Step 3
In the line for entering the command, type the following phrase: control userpasswords2. Press the OK button. In the window that appears, click on the "Yes" button. Please note that your account must have administrator rights on the computer to perform this operation.
Step 4
Find your account in the window that opens with the title "User Accounts". In the box next to the line "Require password and username" uncheck the box.
Step 5
At the bottom of the window, click on the "Apply" button. Enter your password twice in the dialog box that opens. If you do not have a password, leave both fields blank. Click OK. Restart your computer. Now you do not need to enter a password when starting the system.
Step 6
To disable the prompt for a password when waking up from sleep mode, disable this feature in the computer's power settings. Right-click on an empty space on the desktop. In the menu that appears, select the last line "Properties". Open the "Screensaver" tab and press the "Power" button. Go to the "Advanced" section. Find the line "Prompt for password when exiting sleep mode" and remove the check mark from the adjacent box. Click on the "Apply" button.
