I need to enable auto login on my Mac Mini that's acting as a server, but my username isn't listed as an option. Only 1 other admin user (for some odd reason, even though there's another admin user (3 total)), and guest user as an option.

How can I set my own account to auto login?
 
Can you post a screen shot of your login options window?

Sounds like possibly Root user is listed
 
You could select the auto login option from
System preferences→Users&Groups→ Login Options

Do you log in with your icloud password? You may have to set a seperate password for your Mac to access some of the auto login settings.
