Solved: boot up passwords
when my MacMini boots up, it asks for a password. I have it but I would prefer NOT to need to have password protection at boot up. I would like to skip that stwp. I have os X 10.5. 6 Thank you!

Hi there gusgus7 - welcome to TSG.

Open System Preferences > Accounts ≥ Click the lock to unlock "Login Options". Click "Login Optins" again, then on the right enable "Automatic Login", or choose which account to automatically login during boot.

Hope that helps!

Sorry about that! Try this:

System Preferences > Security > Uncheck "Disable Automatic Login"

Hope that helps!
