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.

For a young child this may be the wrong choice entirely. I would consider setting the machine to auto-logon, and start the GUI session as that user. This allows you to keep a good, non-crackable password on the machine for their account, so that it is hard to crack open that machine via the network.I need to create an account for a child on my machine and for that i need to make a very simple password. But when i try to do that the system answer that this password is based on a dictionay word and refuse to do it. So how it is possible to assign a simple passwd to just one account ? Thanks Eric
I am afraid that I don't know if there are hooks for auto-login in Fedora Core...

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