1404817 2015-07-14 00:13:00 On startup there is a numeric on screen keypad, in the top left on screen the owner enters the 4 digit pin and all is well but she want to get rid of it and have no login password.

I am not sure if its even a win 8 product as it doesn't look like it belongs on the screen.
I have been into Accounts / Sign options / the screen has the PIN sign in quickly with a four digit number but doesn't have the Remove button as an option.

Not wanting to add another pin i haven't taken it any further.

Have run Kaspersky Rescue disk found nothing, MBAM found some PUP's and Adaware found some more. All removed.

TIA Wayne

I disable it on all my machines, nobody but me uses them anyway.
