if you mean you want no password at all, IIRC, you'll have to unlink your email.

Yes there is...  And to anyone saying unlink your Microsoft account they are simply ignorant.

 

Step 1: Press "Windows" + "R" on your keyboard.

Step 2: Type "Netplwiz" into the "Open:" field.

Step 3: Uncheck the "Users must enter an user name and password to use this computer"

Step 4: Press "OK"

Step 5: Restart the computer.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!
