Hello menary3,


Could you please confirm what you mean when you say the automatic password?


Are you referring to needing to input the password when waking your Mac from sleep? If so, these steps can help:


1) On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy , then click General.
2) Select “Require password… after sleep or screen saver begins.”
3) Click the pop-up menu and choose the time that passes before a password is required.

Cheers!
