Restart the computer as in Go to Apple symbol, select "Restart" (this morning I discovered the same is true when waking it up from sleep). I've got as far as tracking down the Automatic Login (see attachment) but can't seem to activate it.

In the attachment, automatic login is set to off. What happens when you set it to on?

With access on, the padlock open, when you go to the selector 'Automatic Login' Off and your User Name appear. Can you select your User Name?

Are you using FileVault? If you are, Automatic Login is turned off by the system for security purposes.

That never occurred to me. Since I haven't been using FileVault those issues are usually under my radar.

Want a great tip oisin?
Unless you are a former KGB spy or such give Filevault a big miss. Causes all sorts of problems and if you lose/forget the password, big big troubles.

Mmm... seems I've now learned that by experience but thanks for the reassurance.

I notice you did not explicitly deny that you ARE a former KGB spy ...
