and now he has to put in a password to get on the computer. Have never had to type in a password before. What do I do?? Thanks.

1. After OS updates Macs require a password.

They might not have the computer set to require a password after that.

2. Go to users and groups.

You need to be an admin to change anything.

Select the user and change their login options to no password.

The system must be in a secure location, or anyone can log in and read and change his stuff. Might include passwords to sensitive accounts.

Note: people do store online passwords etc. in files and spreadsheets. Bad habit. Use a password manager app that encrypts data. Can be online account passwords. I am using SamuraiSafe to manage them.

I am a lazy person and live by myself but still do login with a password. Any account that has admin privileges should require a login, because that user can access everything on the computer.
