You can create a password from Control Panel. Once you do, use it to log on to Windows from that point forward, unless you remove your Windows password some day.

Open Control Panel. The easiest way to do that is by executing control from the Start menu or Run dialog box. Another way in Windows 8 is through the Power User Menu by pressing Win+X.

Control Panel in Start Menu

Select User Accounts (Windows 11/10) or User Accounts and Family Safety (Windows 8).

User Accounts in Control Panel

If you're viewing the applets by their icons instead of in category view on Windows 11 or 10, proceed to Step 4 after choosing User Accounts. If you're on Windows 8 in this view, you won't even see this option; open User Accounts instead and then skip down to Step 4.

Open User Accounts.

Choose Make changes to my account in PC settings.

Under the Password area, choose Add.

Enter the new password in the first two text fields. You have to do it twice to make sure you type the password correctly.

In the Password hint field, enter something that will help you remember the password should you forget it, and then select Next.

The next screen might ask Do you want to make your files and folders private?. If other user accounts will be set up on this PC and you'd like to keep your personal files private, select Yes, Make Private.

If you're not concerned about this kind of security or this account is the only account on your PC, you can choose No.

You can now close the User Accounts window and the Control Panel window.
