Q: How to log in without a password?

For Macbook Air

I followed steps given in other response.

Went to system preference

users & groups

clicked din the lock to unlock it.

The problem I am having is that my Automatic log in says is off and it is gray out. Don't let me change it.

Does anybody knows what to do?

NOTE: If you have System Preferences -> Security -> FileVault enabled, you will still need to enter a password when the Mac boots to unlock the encrypted boot device.

I mention this because I'm told that El Capitan new system setups default to suggesting this during the system setup, and many people take the defaults and do not thing about it.
