Dial-up password failure

If I set up my dial up connection to dial without
prompting for a password the connection fails, and I have
to prompt for password before dialing. If I manually
enter my password it works ok.
My dial up properties show 16 characters (my password is
8), but I am not sure if the 'verify password' is included
in properties.

I like to be connected automatically when I turn on my
computer and go to my favorite sites while I have coffee.

Help!
