How do I disable a entering a password when I login to my Mac?

When I first got my MBA I was told to choose a password that i would enter at login, because it would make my computer safer. I have decided that since my computer never leaves my desk and I am the only one in my apartment. That I want to disable my password on my mac. The only thing close to this that I can find is how to change my password to something different. But I would just like to stop entering a password altogether.
I am not sure if this is possible, please help me. Thanks

I was just about to add what Babowa beat me to.
An option she forgot to mention is to set up two user accounts. One is an admin account only used to administer the computer. The second is the operating account. It is a Standard or Managed account in which the use of a password isn't so necessary because a standard account user cannot administer the computer. But whenever you want to make changes requiring the password, then you have to logout of your standard account and log into the Admin account.

How do I disable having to enter my password when unlocking my iPhone 5?

"Make change" would apply if I wanted to change my password but still leave it enabled which I didn't, I wanted to disable the password. Thanks for the effort though.

Disable the "enter a password to unlock the disk" prompt

is there a way to disable the "enter a password to unlock the disk" prompt? My macbook has 2 logical drives, one of them is encrypted, and everytime I start the Mac os x it pops up with that prompt.
Any help is appreciated!

You would have to create the file /etc/fstab with an entry to prevent the volume from mounting automatically. That's advanced system hacking that I don't recommend, but if you want to do it, see the fstab(5) man page for instructions (you must be shell-literate to do this.) Otherwise you're going to be prompted.

How can I disable the setting "Needs password" in the mediathek settings?

How can I disable the setting "Needs password" in the mediathek settings for "Share my mediathek in my local network"? I unchecked it, but as soon as I opened itunes again, it was checked again. It was no problem unchecking the corresponding box with my laptop. This is important for me because otherwise I cannot watch my mediathek-content with Apple TV. Thank you for your help. Regards Klaus Hausmann

I am afraid you will just have to ignore it.

TS1277 HI. I have followed all the appropriate steps above and when I try to enter my 'Password' when asked, my keyboard doesn't work. No key press can be activated at all when trying to enter my password in 'Terminal. And I am in the 'Administrator' user

HI.
I am having trouble authorising my Mac Air to my Itunes account. I found a discussion explaining how to go go into 'Terminal', then adding a command. I have followed all those appropriate steps and when I try to enter my 'Password' when asked, my keyboard doesn't work. No key press can be activated at all when trying to enter my password in 'Terminal. And I am in the 'Administrator' user. Can anybody offer any suggestions?? ta

Does the command that you're trying to enter in Terminal begin with the word 'sudo'?
If so, your keyboard is working fine. When you type your password after a sudo command, nothing is echoed to the screen for security reasons (not even the * that are normally registered in other user interfaces). However, the program is registering what you type.
Just type your password and press 'return' and the command will be executed (so long as you type it correctly; if you don't, you'll get an error message).

How do I disable the brushes popup menu when I left click in Photoshop CS5? I am trying to use the clone stamp and I am not able to get a sample because of this popup menu.

LOL, I can't even begin to complain with the number if times I misread questions, and then try to break my own record for the number of typos in a single post.
The image above was taken on a photgraphic weekend where the group (of all young ladies ) I was travelling with, set us a photography challenge. The one above was my response to a 'faceless portrait'. The only other one I attempted was this response for a picture of a 'wild animal', featuring camera club president Liz.
Oh what fun we had, laughing and laughing until our faces fell off.
[EDIT] Both taken at Karamea, which some visitors to NZ might recognise as the western end of the Heaphy Track.

For txt messages you can change the option of whether previews are shown (Settings >> Messages >> Show Preview Toggle). Switching this "Off" will still show a notification of a missed txt message, but it will not show text from the message itself.
Unfortunately, similar functionality does not currently exist for phone calls; however, the new iOS release (scheduled for September, I think rumor has it) will revamp the way notifications are handled, and there maybe an elegant solution for you then.

Nevermind, I fixed it (I think). I went into Settings | Accounts & Sync and found Yahoo at the bottom of the list (alphabetically). I selected it and it had an optiion to delete the account, which I did.

Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac?

One thing to check: when shutting down or restarting, there is a checkbox in the shutdown/restart dialog which asks whether you want currently open applications to open at startup.

HT201401 How many times can I enter a password if my child has forgotten it?

My child set a password on a disconnected phone that he was using as an ipod. I am trying to unlock it. How many times can I enter a wrong password? Is there a limit and what are the consequences?
Thanks!

Depends. Passcode can be set to erase all data after 10 failed attempts. If you repeatedly enter the wrong passcode, your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will be disabled for longer intervals before you can try again. After too many unsuccessful attempts, you won't be able to try again until you connect it to the computer with which you last synced it.
