How to automatically sign in Window 7?

Asked By Whatsaa 10 points N/A Posted on - 01/23/2012

My computer is set to automatically sign-in every after rebooting. The password is already stored so I do not need to type it repeatedly when logging in. But lately, it is not working on my Windows 7 PC. I don't know how to set it again to the same settings so I am asking for some help on how to do it.

Thanks in advance.

How to automatically sign in Window 7?

Before we even begin, I do need to mention that by allowing your machine to automatically sign in, you're opening up a fairly large security risk.Even if the machine is "locked", all that they need do is reboot it (power-cycling it if need be), and the machine happy restarts and logs in as you.The risk is that anyone can walk up to your machine and access everything on it.If that's not an acceptable risk, then you don't want to do this. There are certainly cases where it makes sense.

To automatically sign in Windows 7, click the start button and type netplwiz in the search box. Uncheck the box Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer and click apply at the bottom of the Users Accounts. Enter the user’s name you wish to automatically login when the Automatically Log on dialog box appears. Click ok on the user’s accounts window.

 Another way is to press the window key + R and launch the run dialog box. Type in control userpasswords2 and press enter. Uncheck the box Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer and click ok.
