<p>2 angles - get a spare keyboard, they use a USB plug now - you
can probably get a used one cheap - you might need it anyway<br>
</p>
<p>OR, just turn off the login screen - there are a bunch of ways,
google if for the version of windows on the machine</p>

<div dir="ltr">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.

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