Password required on restart of iMac

I had some issues with my iMac last week, and had to erase the hard drive. After restoring the hard drive I am now required to enter my password when I restart the iMac. How do I change this so a password is not required?

iMac 21.5", macOS 10.14

I found that the support article provided may not be up to date for Mojave. So I went to System Preferences/ Security& Privacy and unchecked the "Disable automatic login" box. I restarted and no login password was required.
