But, unless you have FileVault turned on, you can use the "Users & Groups" Systems Preferences page to automatically log in to an account when the computer is started. See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201476 (See also the note about using the iCloud password as the computer account password on that page.) I have a Mac Mini set to automatically log in to a specific account, so I know that this works.
