Password at boot up removal

Asked by Matthew Wagner

Previous versions the password was not required when cold booting, now it does. I would like to remove this if possible without reinstalling.

Thats the release. There is a KDE release of 11.10. There is a Gnome release of 11.10 and so on. Lets make this dead easy.

Does your desktop look like this:
