Well after spending a lot of time on WiFi Pineapples shall we head back to Windows 7.
May of you may not remember computers pre Windows XP, we never had to log in to a system, it used to just start up ready for us.
My desktop doesn't travel around, any I am the only person with access, so why should I have to type in my password to get access? Don't get me wrong my laptop does travel and as a result has a password and full drive encryption.
Now this is the same case with my mother, but I don't want her having admin access to her computer, that would only make more work for me in the long run. As this is the second time I have had to reinstall a full OS for her.
The default log in account can be a user or an admin, bear in mind if the user attempts to access and admin feature they will be prompted for the admin's password (installed team viewer for my Mum).
Less of my life and lets get into this nice quick tip.
Open the run command by pressing GUI+r.

Open the run command by pressing GUI+r.
type in "control userpasswords2" and yes without the quotes.
Then click Apply.
At this point you will be prompted for your password.
Now after the next boot you will be delivered to your desktop.
Don't forget what your password is, you may still want to lock your computer when friends come around or if you have set your computer to prompt for a password after recovering from screensaver.
So I think the next one will have to be how to reset your password if you forget it.
