Been there done it And still it asks for a password also done a few other things But still it asks for a password.
I am sure Microsoft has a department Called ( Now Lets See How We Can Annoy Our Customers)

It was simple to do before windows 8

Like what? Please try to explain what you have done.

If you have turned on bitlocker for example you can't sign on automatically EDIT : generally

You have not said what you tried or have done so it would be speculation on my part to continue...

What i did before was a while back Just cannot remember But finally got it My Anti Virus Avast was stopping it for some reason Tried disabling it for it for 10 mins Changed password Restarted and it worked. Avast has been getting in the way a bit since i upgraded to the Full Internet Security Suite.

Signing on without a password could be seen as not terribly secure. Could be deliberate on the part of Avast. I'll check it but I use the inbuilt Defender and EMET personally so I might be a bit slow in doing so...

Hello Ronnie,

Try doing it again double checking to make sure that you entered the correct password.

In addition, check to see if the items in the yellow tip box may be the issue.
