    Hi Veronica,

    Open the Settings App

    Go to Accounts - Sign-in Options

    Choose to sign in with a local account

    Enter your old password and leave the new password boxes Empty

    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!
