To change the system to automatically login.
click on system settings. then logon.
Enter your root password when the popup happens.
>From the login setup screen:
check Automatic Login in first bootup.
Enter your user name in the Automatic login username area.
Voila
When you next login you will not have to enter your user name and password.
