I have an old computer running win8 and I'd like to know how to change or disable the login password.

That was easy and painless.

Thanks for the link, Bob.

And after you do that, update it to Windows 10 (or backrev to Windows 7) - anything but Win 8. 😩

I don't know about Win8, but when I disabled the PW in Win10, I now have to use a PIN. If I disable that, I have to go back to a PW.

I might try this later, but why does it have to e so difficult?

EDIT: I remember that I tried this before, and I don't have gpedit, so I can't even begin. I'll see if I can get the netplwiz method to work.
