[password]Windows v8.1


Recommended Posts

My son has windows 8.1 and a couple of months ago ran netplwiz.

 

Then the system started to request a password again.

 

I ran netplwiz again, still requests password.
 

I also tried a sysinternals app from Microsoft also.

 

Still requests password.

 

So anyone got something else to stop having to enter a password from logoff or a boot to get to desktop?

Not sure but I thought that on logoff, shutdown and restart a password was required. Mine is that way sleep does not need password but a shutdown or restart reqiures one.

Did you make sure the password entered in netplwiz was correct?? Did you uncheck apply, recheck apply the "requires a username and password..."???

Yes, it was the right password.

 

I followed the right procedure, I think this only started when the v8.1 update was applied.

I ran in to the same issue upgrading to 8.1. I'm not sure if your son is using a live or local account but converting from live -> local, ended up fixing the issue for me... oddly enough.

When he is awake, I will give it ago.

I found out what the problem is.

 

It is to do with password protection when a screen saver is running.

 

So thanks for any help.
