Remove Windows 10 password when Netplwiz option is missing.

Hello,

1- The automatic login via the Windows + R key --► netplwiz has been removed.
This is related to the setting defined in Accounts and to the Windows Hello login.
You need to set this parameter to Disabled, the checkbox under netplwiz will be displayed again.

2- Go to Settings ► Accounts ► Sign-in options ►
Then in "Password"
Click on "Change"
Enter the old password and that's it.
If that doesn't work, enter a temporary password and once the initial setup is complete, change your login password.

3- Registry key DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion
Open the Windows registry, press Windows + R and type -►regedit
If the registry key DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion is not present:
Go to -►HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
In the right pane, create a new value DWORD 32 bits
Note: DWORD 32 bits even with a Windows 64 bits.



Copy and paste New value #1 -► DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion

Double-click on -►DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion
In the Value data box, type -►0 [in Hexadecimal]
Then OK

Close the Windows registry.
Restart the PC.

4- Add the registry key using CMD.
In the search box on the taskbar, type -► cmd
Right-click on -►Command Prompt [Run as Administrator]
Copy/paste:

reg ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PasswordLess\Device" /v DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Then press Enter.
Close the Command Prompt window.
Restart the PC.

This will bring back the missing checkbox in Windows 10.

See you later
