    Hi and welcome

    there are two ways. If it is in a secure location you could just remove the password. The other is to have the password "remembered"

    I went the no password route and love it

    In the Start Search box, type
    netplwiz
    uncheck the box in front of "Users must enter a user name and password...
    Ok
    enter the current password twice
    OK

    Now it will automatically log you in after a restart.
