Q: Newbie needs to disable password at login.

How do I disable password at login on my Macbook Air running OS X El Capitan version 10.11.3? File vault is off. Disable automatic login is greyed out and cannot be unchecked. This is my first Mac after years of that other OS and I cannot figure it out. Thanks for the help.

MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

Automatic Login can be enabled in Users & Groups preferences through the Login Options. To disable it via Security & Privacy preferences you must first click on the lock icon and enter your admin password.
