In setting up much of your networking settings to get your cable internet service to work, you got stuck with the login screen at bootup. Is the login window a Windows login window or a Windows networking login window? If it is a Windows login window, you can create any username you want, but don't need to assign it a password, and can blank it out on a confirmation request to never have it ask for a password again for that user again, a fake user.

If you are stuck with assigning a network login, you can pretty much take the same approach or use a utility like Tweak-UI for automatic logins.
