    Hi Joyce,

    Open the Settings App

    Go to Accounts - Sign-in Options

    Choose to sign in with a local account

    (in newer versions of Windows 10, this might be on the Your Info Settings Page)

    Enter your old password and enter a new password or leave it blank as appropriate

    Close the Settings App

    Click your Start Button, type netplwiz and hit Enter

    In the resulting dialog, uncheck the option 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer box'

    Click OK

    That's It!
