    Icon5 How to disable Windows 7 startup (boot) user password login?

    The thing is, I want to disable the password login when Windows 7 is booting. Practically, to auto-login my user at startup

    Any idea how can I do that?

    actually, you can just go to Control Panel > Users and remove your password...it will not ask for any login at startup

    it's simple really..all you need to do is launch a command from RUN or SEARCH (Start Menu)

    The command is: Netplwiz

    This command actually summons the Advanced User Accounts Control Panel, where, for each user, you will have an option to enable/disable: "Users must enter an username or password..." Uncheck that and here's your auto-login...I've linked a screenshot also in case you get lost

    Type in "syskey" & click enter, then you'll see a box that says SAM Lock Tool, Click YES
    You'll then see a box that says "WIndows Acount Database"...click "UPDATE"
    Then click on "System Generated Password" if you DO NOT require a startup password.
    Then select "Store Startup Key Locally"
    Click on "OK" the click on "OK" again and you're done!!!!
    No more Startup Password is required!

    whewwww...I was dealing with this for 2 months! lol

    Well, you can also use the command user controlpasswords2 to perform this task.
    It will list all the user in the system & allow you to perform advance operations.
