I set up a child account on a desktop computer that has Windows 10 - it has an administrative account, which has a password as I want the user of that to be the only one to be able to access that account.


Then there is a child account which I called "Guests", during the setup many moons ago I set up a pin to that account (I'm sure I had to, as I didn't see an option to have a password-less 'child' account) but I want that account to have no pin.

Is there any way to change the 'child'-account to be completely password-less, and if so are there any good and simple step-by-step instructions?

Per MS CoPilot:

Yes, you can make a child account password-less in Windows. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

  1. Open Settings: Press Windows key + I to open the Settings app.
  2. Go to Accounts: Select "Accounts" from the menu.
  3. Sign-in Options: Click on "Sign-in options" on the left side.
  4. Remove Password: Under the "Password" section, click on "Change". You’ll be asked to enter the current password. Leave the new password fields blank and click "Next" to remove the password.
  5. Set Up Windows Hello: For a more secure password-less experience, you can set up Windows Hello. Under "Sign-in options", choose "Windows Hello PIN" or "Windows Hello Face" if your device supports it, and follow the instructions to set it up.
