Note: If it does not work the first time, you will have to repeat the process. Activate password protection again, restart your PC and repeat the instructions to remove the password. You should then be able to start Windows without a password.

  5. Enter your password twice and select " OK " again.
  6. Click on " Apply " to save your changes and you do not have to log in with your password when you restart .
