[Hidden-tech] How do you turn off the passcode requirement on a Lenovo PC laptop?

[Shel Horowitz]

Hi, folks, I haven't asked a question in a while and I'm trying to
proactively ask this before it prevents me from using my computer. I have a
2018 Lenovo laptop. When I got it, it was my only computer and I was taking
it on trips, etc. so I enabled a passcode on startup/wakeup. But now I have
the Mac I inherited when my stepfather died, which is much lighter and less
bulky (although it's several years older than the PC). But bit by bit, the
Lenovo keyboard is failing. So far, luckily, the specific keys in my
passcode arestillworking. But the x, z, and spacebar are all unreliable and
I worry that at some point, one of the keys in my passcode won't work and I
won't be able to use the machine. I got an estimate for replacing the
keyboard/keypad assembly and it was more than I want to spend on such an
old machine.

Is there a way to remove the need for the passcode? This computer hasn't
left my house in several years.

Thanks!
