Did you set it up that way?

Go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > click on the lock if locked > check "login options" to see what it is set at.

imac still asking for password on startup Hello there, my second post in 2 days. Although my preference is to start up the iMac without a password it is still requesting one when I start or restart the computer. I have made a safe boot, checked and unchecked the box in security and privacy, but it´s still asking me for the password. Any suggestions please?
