I was forced to sign on with my MS account when installing 8.1.

Now I want to return to my local <username> account and
not be prompted to log-in at boot up.

How can that be accomplished, please? It's set for NO password.

By the way, one can bypass that.

When it forces you to get the account, just click on the create new account button.
But don't enter anything - at the bottom there is a use existing account button.
I used that method.

EDIT: typo fix
