In this tutorial we will guide you how to disable password in Windows 8 after sleep. Just follow the given steps:
Every time you wake up your Laptop/Desktop from sleep, it requires a Password before you can get back to the work. It might become sometimes annoying entering your Password n number of times but it is meant to be like that to protect user against external threat or from someone logging onto your account, say if you are on a network. While you will be following the steps below to disable Password for sleep, you would see that even Windows itself don’t recommend it and neither do we.
A Password protected account is way more secure than a Password disabled one, yet some people choose to disable Password. So can you. Here’s how to do it (this will disable password only for sleep mode and not for when you are logging in ) :-
1. Move the cursor towards the upper right corner/bottom right corner and click on Search.

3. Open the Control panel and click on System and Security.
4. In the System and Security Menu, Click on the ‘Power Options’.
