If you mean, how to configure autologin, here is how:

locate registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current
Version\Winlogin

and then set DefaultDomainName, DefaultPassword and DefaultUserName
keys to your settings. You also have to set AutoAdminLogon to 1.

Want to set an automatic logon?

Click Start, Run and type CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2, and click Ok. Select the
user account from the list (to which account you want to automatically
logon). Uncheck Users must enter a user name and password to use this
computer option, and click Ok. Type the user account password and complete
the process.
