Do you need a password for Windows 8?

It depends how the system is configured; Microsoft strongly encourage you to have an account - with a user name and password. But with such an account, you can configure Windows 8 to automatically log the computer in to a particular account so that when you turn the computer on, it doesn't ask for a username (or password), but takes you straight to the start screen. However, if you change the network to which the computer is connected, you will be asked for your password before you can use the machine.
