Turn off password logon

I have a Thinkpadpad T60. I have removed windows password but I still go through the logon process just don't have to type
in a password. Is there anyway to bypass this and boot straight in? I called tech support and they told me to do a
google search. Thanks for any help.

If you were referring to my post not working here is a walkthrough from Microsoft about setting up the auto-login.

As for the second account created you can delete them from the Computer Management (under Administrative Tools in Control panel) by selecting the Users / Groups section and just manually deleting the new account it created.

Can't turn off password protected sharing - Windows 7

When I turn off password protected sharing in the network and sharing center's advanced settings, I save settings but when I go back in, it's turned on again. Turning it off doesn't stick.
This is what seess to be forcing a password and prevents me from setting up a backup to a network share drive.
Any ideas?

I noticed there is loads of stuff about problems with Networking Win 7 and XP/2000 PCs etc. I also couldnt get Password Protected sharing OFF to stick and had problems with Win 7/XP machines loosing sight of each other, when a Win 7 PC was added to a Network.
I saw some comments about the Guest Account - needs to be about with blank password but the password prot off may not like that
So, I enabled it, set a blank password on it but turned it Off!!.
And, as if by magic, Password Protected Sharing OFF engaged OK.
First, Using the console.
Windows Start - type   mmc   in search box, select mmc.exe which appears at top of Start Window.
On the console window do File - Add/remove Snap ins - select Local Users and groups - Add - Local computer.
Add other snap ins if you wish then OK. File Save to save your console setup with a 'name'.msc - use the 'name' in the Windows Start search box next time.
In the console window.
Expand Local Users and groups, select User folder, Select Guest Acct, Rt Click - Properties
Ticked - User Cannot Change Password and Password Never Expires
Unticked - User must change password, Account is disabled, Account is locked out
Apply then OK
Select Guest Account - Rt Click - Set Password - Proceed - ensure password fields are blank - OK
Windows Start - Control Panel - User Accounts - Add or Remove User Account
Select the Guest Account and Turn it Off
Control Panel - Network and Sharing Center - Change Advanced Sharing Settings
Expand Home or Work
Network Discovery ON
File and printer sharing ON
Public Folder Sharing ON
Media Streaming Off
Enable file sharing 40-56 encryption machines (if XP/2000 etc PCs in workgroup)
Password Protected Sharing OFF
Hope this helps; I could however be wrong about the logic but lets see what the experts say (please modify/delete as appropriate)!!
I must admit the 'connectivity' on my Network has improved; PCs not loosing each other.
Good Luck
Steve

How turn off passwords

I want to get MacBook Pro serviced. How do I turn off passwords so it is easy for the technician?

The only way to turn off the password completely is to create a new user account for the technician without any password. Open System Preferences > Users & Groups, press the + button and create a user account. However, I do not recommend you to do this.
Instead, I just recommend you to disable your login password to let the technician use your Mac. To do this, open System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options (you may need to press the padlock at the bottom right corner of the System Preferences window), and choose your user account next to "Automatic login". He/she may not need to install any application, so this is enough.

Turning off Password Login at Startup???

ok so i used to live with my roommate now i am moved out and on my own, i want to turn off my passworded login like i used to have before i moved in for college, it used to just login no problem, all i did was go to System Preferences>Security and turned on "Disable Automatic Login"....well now i Un-checked it so that it will login automatically when i turn the computer on, but it still asks for my password and its really annoying, anyone know how to turn this on for sure?

Hi Daniel,
Try the following:
1. Fire up System Preferences.
2. Select Accounts.
3. Click on the Lock at the bottom left and enter your password.
4. Click on Login Options just above the Lock
5. On the right ensure that Automatically Log in as: is ticked and select the account you want from the drop down menu.
That should be it. All okay now?

Need to turn off Password protection

I was just exploring and set a password and now I need to turn off the password. When I go to the Password page it is "Enabled." How do I disable this?

I cannot turn off the password either. It shows a little lock next to the box with a check in it and I can't even highlight it
Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Typically, that is due to one or more of the following:
You are a BES user, and your BES admins have required (by IT Policy) for a device lock password to be enforced. To change that, you need to talk to your BES admins as they control it.
You are not a BES user, but your device was once in it's life activated on BES, and was not properly cleansed of it's IT Policy before coming into your possession. You can check for that via this:
KB30076 How to check for an IT Policy on a BlackBerry smartphone
If it is the case, then let us know as there are some very specific procedures you can follow to cleanse it, but they must be followed exactly.
You have Content Protection or Encryption enabled on your device, which requires a device lock password to enforce.
Good luck and let us know!

How do I turn off password at login for all users?

I want to keep separate users but I don't want a password requirement to login for any user. How do I turn off the password requirement at login altogether?

Its not only a matter of other people, but also any software-based threats or even mishaps. For instance, there are some Terminal commands that can be executed by a program, script, or even another user that require authentication. If you do not have a password set then these can be executed directly with administrative privileges. Some of these can be disastrous to the system if used incorrectly.
I agree for the most part if your system is fairly isolated then this is not much of an issue, but there is the rare possibility of malware or simple user mistakes that a good password helps guard against.

Any way to turn off password requirement on startup (without eliminating the password)?

I'm trying to help a friend with snow leopard. Her primary hard drive was recently replaced by apple and then restored from time machine. She's always had the same password but claims that she was never required to enter it for every startup as she is now. She'd like to turn off that requirement.
I don't want to change her password to none (or null), as I perceive that there may be problems when attempting to do software updates with a null password.
I've looked at system prefs > security, system prefs >accounts, and the keychain and haven't found a way to do this
Any ideas?
She's using a prior generation MacBook Air.

Hi Francine
Thanks very much for your answer. I've got it working now thanks to you.
Strangely, it WAS set that way all along.
But I tried the following:
- I turned OFF Auto Login for her account,
- Exited system preferences,
- Returned to Account Login Options,
- Turned ON Auto Login for her account, (again)
- Did a restart
And that seems to have done the trick. It appears that the restore from time machine, may have only partially restored that setting.
Thanks very much for your quick and accurate response

Turn off password protection for digital signature

I have an employee who set up his electronic signature a while back and he can't remember the password to it, and therefore he cannot sign a PDF form digitally now. How can he turn off the password without having to remember his old one?

If that was allowed, what would the point of a password be in the first place?
However, you don't say how the user is signing.
If using EchoSign follow that service's process.
If trying to access a signing certificate (digital ID), start over by creating a new digital ID (self signed).
If you've purchased digital IDs from a vendor, ask the PKI admin.
hth,

Cannot turn off password demand

Although I have tried to turn off the password demand in both my incoming and outgoing mail, it still asks me for my password all the time. Can you help?

How have you tried turning off the password demand?
Since you have a password demand for the account's SMTP server, I assume this SMTP server is authenticated?
The account's password for the incoming and outgoing mail server are stored in your Keychain. If you are constantly prompted to manually enter the account's password for the incoming mail server, what is your time interval setting for automatically checking for new mail?
If Mail keeps asking you for your keychain password, your keychain may be set to lock after a certain period of time, or when your computer goes to sleep.
Have you tried running Keychain First Aid on your primary/login Keychain via Keychain Access?
