Yarisyoyo That all depends on what you're using it for. This computer I was using was to run a specific program that has to be unattended. The computer is not connected to the internet while doing this. It has nothing in it but that one program that runs some robotics. It contains no personal information. Just a fresh install of windows and this one bit of software. In this case, I believe I am safe. No one can hack in since it's offline, and if it was physically stolen, there is no useful information in the computer.
If you are using a computer that is online and has all kinds of personal data on it, then running without a password is not recommended as you said.
