How to disable Mac Login screen at boot time?

Question

I bought a new Mac Mini in June, when i click the power it goes to login screen then i login then it boots up, i want it not to ask for the user/pass in this stage and ask later when the operating system has loaded like my mac book pro

Solution

It sounds like you have FileVault encryption enabled (in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy pane -> FileVault tab). FileVault protects your files by encrypting the entire volume, which means you need to supply a password to decrypt & get access to it before it can load the operating system. If you don't want this, you need to turn off FileVault.

Are both the mini and the MBP running the same OS?

It looks like you are right, when I go to work I'll try to disable it and see what happens then I will mark your answer as correct.

Isn't that option in the Users & Groups preferences? And if it is actually ticked (or chosen) that should already be the behavior the poster wants to have.

I already got what I am after, but thanks for your interest.
