I have my laptops set to auto-login. No problem at all. The only time 
that I use the password is when I log-off and log back on without 
shutting down. I happen to be using Win XP right now. I have FC3 on a 
different partition on this computer. But there is a menu item for this, 
but I would have to go back and re-do it to remember what it was, but it 
is a simple check box, plus you designate which account is the auto 
login account.

If you need a simple password that he could remember, try his name plus 
his age combined, "roger09"
