When using Windows 8, one of the added security you entered the US company is the need to enter the password for our account Microsoft every time you start your computer or out of standby. However, this feature can become quite heavy if you use the computer at home and need that extra security. For these users, there is a way to eliminate the need to enter the password each time you enter the team. We tell you in a few steps how to leverage this feature to streamline the use of your computer with Windows 8.

But first we must bear in mind that activate this function assumes that any outside user can enter into the computer, so you better make sure they are the ones who have regular access to the computer (or our confidence in users accessing the team is total). In addition, to perform the steps necessary to be the computer administrator or have an account with administrator rights. The first thing to do is open a search box in Windows 8. For this, open the Options bar to the right of the screen by dragging your finger from the edge toward the center or if not a touch device by placing the mouse in the left corner and then upload upwards. The option in question is "Search". We may also use a quick keyboard shortcut through of pressing the combination "Windows key + Q".

Inside the white box, enter the word "netplwiz" without the quotes. Should apparate an immediately below the panel icon next to you can see the name of the tool. We click on it. Here a window in which we must enter the administrator password appears. This tool is actually a small window where you can manage different user accounts that are configured on the computer. Just above this list should have by default the option labeled "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". We ensure that the account is selected in the list is that we want to remove the password and then disable the clicking on the small box next to the phrase option. Finally, we click on the option "Apply".

The system will open another small window where you can see the box for the username and below two boxes. For this change to take effect, you must write the account password in both. Then we come back to click on accept and the change will be made. If all went well, next time we go in or come out from the sleep we can not ask any password to enter. This trick will streamline the process of entry into Windows 8 although it should be used with care. At any time you can re-establish the password doing the same steps but activating the function to write name and password.
