So i was resetting the admin password for a friend on his macbook and after i have done this ive had nothin but problems. After the reset it kept asking him for keychain passwords when he would try to open programs i got that taken care of but, now everytime he restarts his cmoputer he has to type in his password to login, he wants it set up so that he just hits the on button and thats its. I cant find what to do now, thanks in advance
 
You need to set his password to nothing or you can have the computer automatically log in to his account.
 
thank you, can you tell me how to set it up tho to automatically login to his account

edit: under preferences its set to automatic login
 
i reset the keychain and now im not having problems the computer just wont do the automatic login?
 
Try resetting the account to auto login. It may be trying to use the old password.
