Thank you both, have given all that to OH. who at the moment is bewailing the fact that he has lost the connection to the Tom tom set up. |

You won't be turning the password off as such, merely bypassing it - if that makes sense |

passwords have become very weak security which is why all serious terminals use at least a keyboard with a slot for a security card. This is fairly foolproof unless the user leaves their card in the slot. |

I am referring to the fact that if you turn off that facility, anyone can physically access your computer so it would be less secure (as well as other security implications). You should always really password protect your computer. |

Right, OH might understand you both but Rollo, what does typing netplwiz actually activate? Is this to do with turning off the password please. |

When you do as Rollo correctly says above, click on your account and I think you can remove the tick next to something about users having to enter a password - will double check when I am on a Win 10 machine later. |

You can turn that off if nobody else uses the computer although it lessens security of course |

Sooner or later a software contractor at UKJGov is going to invoke the wrong routine and delete the digital identity of most of the population ... can't happen ? A US contractor has already managed to leak the whole US Fed employee database by accident ( sounds better than "hacked" ). |

When we log in our current computers we don't have to input a password. Now that OH has upgraded he always has to input a password when he logs in. |

It could be argued that I do not necessarily need the mafia for that ! |

if you are driving a decent motor (a) it won't have any keys and (b) the Russian mafia, Serbs et al will already have yr details. You are about to become a none person with no ID. |
