The tip that I will be showing you in
this article involves getting Windows 8 to let you log on to your
computer without entering an account name and a password (although you
must have previously set up your computer to log on with an account name
and a password.) This tip would be used on a personal pc with Windows 8
that is not used by more than one user. The tip would best apply to a
regular desktop or laptop pc with a keyboard and a mouse attached, (such
as what I am using for my Windows 8) -- that is, one without a touch
screen, since I describe all my entries by talking about a mouse and
keyboard. Of course, the tip also applies to a Touchpad version of
Windows 8. On a touch device you merely touch the screen. A right click
is usually done on a touch screen by pressing and holding down until a
complete circle appears, then lifting your finger.
So let's turn to the matter of logging on to your computer without an account name and a password. (By the way, this tip also works in both Windows 7 and Windows Vista.)
After you get to the Desktop, you need to first bring up the Run dialog box and type in "netplwiz" (without the quotation marks) as shown in the screen shot below. You can bring up the Run dialog box by pressing the Windows key and the R key at the same time.

After you then touch the Enter key in this Run dialog box, you will see a User Accounts dialog box that lists all those who are users of your computer, such as what is shown in the following screen shot. Now you should first remove the check mark from the message "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Then you should select the account name that will automatically log on, then finally click the "Apply" button at the bottom of the dialog box.
Now you will get the "Automatically sign in" dialog box, where you enter your password that you normally use (twice), and then click OK. This is shown in the screen shot below.
After you click OK once more to close the User Account dialog box, you are all done. The next time you log in, it will be automatically to your chosen account.
