How do I remove my startup password, it's really annoying

You don't. Without it your computer has no security, you will not be able to make certain system changes, and you will not be able to install new software. If you don't like using a password at startup there is a solution although it renders your computer unsafe from others.
Open Users & Groups or Accounts preferences. Click on the lock icon and enter your admin password when prompted. Click on the Login Options button. On the top right you will see Automatic Login: and a dropdown menu. Select your username from the menu. You will be prompted again to enter your admin password. Then you are done. From now on your computer will startup without asking you to enter a password.

  • How do I remove my login password?

    I just bough a Macbook Pro (the newest one) and everytime I login it says I need a password but  I don't want to have to put in a password every time I login. How do I remove it?

    Here you go I found this from Dummies.com:
    Some users don’t care for the fact that Mac OS X Lion is a multiuser operating system and dislike having to log in when they start up their Mac. For those users, here’s a way to disable the login screen and enable the OS X automatic login feature:
    Open the Users & Groups System Preferences pane, select yourself in the list of users, and click the Login Options button below the list.
    Choose the account you want to be logged in automatically from the Automatic Login pop-up menu.To disable the logging-in requirement, you have to be an administrator, and you might need to unlock the Users & Groups System Preferences.
    Remember: When you disable logging in, you also affect all the preferences set by anyone else who uses your Mac unless they log out of your account and log into theirs.

  • How can I remove the HDD password?

    Did anyone know how I must reset the Toshiba 2.5" SATA or IDE password?
    Or how I can use a password protected HDD?

    I am sorry but the last poster is incorrect. You can remove the password as follows :-
    1) Start the computer
    2) Enter the BIOS
    3) Scroll down to HDD Password box
    4) Select "REGISTERED" in the password field
    5) When prompted enter the existing password
    6) When prompted for the new password press the "backspace" key" once
    7) When prompted for the [assword the second time, press the "backspace" key once more
    8) A message to say that the password has been changed will appear and the word UNREGISTERED will appear in the password field
    9) Select "exit and save"
    At the next power up you will not be asked for the password.

  • How do I remove Mail outgoing password?

    I set up Mail with PW required for outgoing.  Although it is in Keychain I'd prefer to remove that selection and have the messages just go.  Looking under Accounts | Advanced the "no password" authentication option is gone.  I could delete the account and recreate it.  But I'd rather get the option back.

    It seems most SMTP is going to want a password, no?
    You can delete out of your keychain if that is your problem. Through keychain.app in your utilities folder.
    Mail>preferences>Accounts>account info> outgoing SMTP>  highlite and edit list,  If it is a mail problem.

    You must reinstall OS X in order to register it with your Apple ID. If your computer came with DVDs:

    3. Reinstall OS X. When it finishes, open  > Software Update and install the most recent version
