To make you Raspberry Pi automatically login (for example to login right away when you start the Pi), do the following for RaspBian:
In terminal:
sudo nano /etc/inittab
Scroll down to:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 tty1
add a hash in front of this line to comment it out so it looks like:
#1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 tty1
Under that line add:
1:2345:respawn:/bin/login -f pi tty1 </dev/tty1 >/dev/tty1 2>&1
Ctrl+X to exit, Y to save followed by enter twice.
Reboot you RPi and ... it logs in as the user "pi" automatically.
