How to setup a password upon startup?

Hello,
Is it possible to setup a password to come up upon login? If so I would appreciate any information on how to do this.
thanks,
Steve

Isn't it under system preferences/security "disable automatic login"? I'm running 10.4 on the Mac I'm at right now so I can't verify my statement.

    Call Apple with the Serial and they will send you the ones that came with the Mac. Or search the Net.

    So, how do I put password upon wakeup?
    thankyou

    I don't if having a password on wakeup will fix your problem or if it does why it does, but you can set this by doing the following.
    Open System Preferences
    Click on Security & Privacy
    Make sure the General tab is selected at the top
    Tick (enable) the 'Require password - immediately - after sleep or screen saver begins'

  • How to setup HDD password on Equimum L40-141?

    Hi
    Can anyone tell me how to setup hardrive password on my above Laptop please?
    Thank you
    Jane

    Hi
    Did you check the settings in the BIOS?
    My BIOS contains a option for HDD password setting.
    But just one question; why do you want to set the HDD password?
    Is it really necessary?
    You should know that if the HDD was set and something will go wrong, I mean if you would forget the HDD password then the HDD would be locked and not more useable.
    Therefore be careful with such password if you want hear my opinion; dont set it.

  • IMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

    iMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

    Is sounds like it might for some reason booting into Safe Mode, which does prompt for a password.
    Try a PRAM reset:
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    If that doesn't help, restart holding down the option key which should take you to the startup manager. Select Macintosh HD (you may need to use the arrows on the keyboard if the kb is Bluetooth), tap 'enter'. Does it boot normally now?

  • How to remove Windows Sign-in with Password upon Startup

    hi. Can anyone help me? Whenever we buy a new laptop, my husband always told me to "just leave it blank" , referring to the Microsoft Windows sign in with blank box for typing in a password. "This way you don't have to type your password everytime
    you sign in." I am totally in agreement with this. Why do extra work everytime you open your laptop? So we have always done that. Last weekend a client made me skype with her. I had to download Skype. I was offered only two options for signing into skype:
    either through Facebook or Microsoft Windows sign in, so I had to get a username and password at that point with Microsoft Windows. (Yes, there probably was some way to sign straight into Skype but the corporate relationship comes first, with Microsoft, so
    they only provided me a screen with those two options. Nowhere else on the Skype screen did it say there was a third option.)
    Now everytime I open my laptop I have to type my long Microsoft password. Right now I am in msconfig and reading every single running service under Startup, Services and Processes and cannot find the name of the authentication for Microsoft upon Startup,
    to disable. What is the name of it? Under which category?
    I use Windows 8.

    This is not the correct forum for your question.

  • Firefox Asks for Unnecessary Master Password Upon Every Startup

    Upon start up, Firefox unnecessarily asks for my master password every time. My home page (Google Finance) does not require a password. This occurs in safe mode as well. This is annoying and time wasting. I have to X-out the master password request window about 10 seconds after I start Firefox. Why does it do this? ... Firefox did not used to do this.

    The cited solutions involve either removing the Master Password, or using an add-on which requires an initial password. Neither is a true solution to the problem. If I remove the use of a Master Password and my machine were stolen, then the passwords would be accessible to a thief. So, I do want a Master Password. The question ... and problem ... is this: why does Firefox request a password upon startup when it does not yet need one? And, how can this be turned off? From my memory, it did not used to do that.

    I found this and it fixed my issue..
    I was suffering with this same problem, I followed these steps and everything returned to normality:
    1.- I opened KeyChain app and run the FirstAid (from the KeyChain app Menu)with my user Password (this do work) because the problem is not with your password. If there is any trouble with your keychain file this will fix it.
    2.- Opened Disk Aid and run Fix Persmissions just in case there was left some wrong file permissions during the upgrade.
    3.- Went back to the Key Chain App and Locked and Unlocked the Keychain using the Lock in the top left corner of the app. When asked for my password I simply typed my User password.
    After this everything worked fine. These are the steps that I followed but I really think that #3 did the trick here. You could try to do only #3 directly and it might fix your problem, but fixing the Keychain and fixing OS permissions is never a bad Idea.
    Good Luck friends.
