Every time I restart my iMac (OSX 6.8) I have to enter my master password. I am the Administrator and the only user. There is some way to eliminate the need to enter the password and go right to the desktop. What is it?
iMac G5 (17-inch), Mac OS X (10.6.8)
If you mean Admin password, and not Master Password that is used for FileVault, then open Accounts preferences. Click on the lock icon and enter your admin password, then click on the Login Options button near the bottom of the left sidebar list. At the top you will see Automatic Login. Select your full username from the dropdown menu. You will then be prompted to enter your admin password.
Now your computer will login automatically.

Thanks for you prompt help. I was able to find the Automatic Login box and found that my name was already there. I turned the box entry to "off" and then re-entered my name. I now works perfectly!
