Bypass Windows 8 and 8.1 login screen

Problem

You have set up Windows 8 or 8.1 to use your Microsoft account and now every time you boot your computer you have to enter your Windows live password.

Cause

Microsoft designed the system like this to be more secure as the account is linked to your Microsoft account which may also link to your email,  OneDrive etc. However if you feel that this is a security feature you could do without then see the solution below.
We do not advise you perform the following to bypass the Windows security feature. Security features are there to protect you and your data.
