Turn automatic login off


  1. Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
  2. Click the lock , then enter the account password.
  3. If you aren't logged in as an administrator, you're asked to enter an administrator name and password.
  4. Click Login Options in the lower-left corner.
  5. Choose an account from the “Automatic login” menu, then enter the password of that account.
