How To Remove a Password From a Windows 8 Laptop

When you install Windows 8, you are prompted to add a password to the first user account that is created. You can skip this step, but accounts with passwords are far more secure.

if you want to remove a password that you have assigned to the account on your laptop, you will need to be logged in with an administrator account.

Once you use the administrator’s credentials to log on to your Windows 8 laptop, removing the password from the computer is easy.

Here is how:

    ■Log on to your laptop with an administrator account.
    ■Click the Desktop tile from the Start screen when it appears.
