Hi,
I had encrypted my drive when installing Bodhi long time back, I would now like to UNencrypt it so I don't have to type that password anymore. How do I do that?
Also, how do I add more users IN A GUI? I would like it so that when it boots, I can select the user from a DROP DOWN LIST OF USERS, and then I DON'T have to type a password, ie. I click OK or whatever, and it goes in. How do I do all this?

Thanks.

Last time I tried to revert an encrypted installation, it became so non-trivial that I ended up saving a *lot* of time by simply backing up important files and re-installing. That would be my recommendation.

I can't think of a way to automate non-password login for more than one user (sorry).

I'd probably backup and renistall as well, seems like the easiest way, also means you can set it to no password required during install.

I don't know of a GUI for user management, or what moksha has without looking, but here's some CLI stuff that might help in the mean time.
