Hi there:

Click on "Login Options" (its icon looks like a house) above the padlock (right above the plus and minus signs). There you'll find the dropdown menu for Automatic login at the top.

Hope this helps.

Oh wait. If you have FileVault enabled you can't automatically log in.

System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options. You'll have to unlock the padlock.
