How to make it ask for password at startup?

So I installed into another pc but I checked that radio button so now it doesn't ask for pass at startup. How do I change it?

Btw this laptop I installed is very sensitive. I had w7 installed on that, if it got a little hot it would shutdown. W10, not a chance, insta shutdown.

So do you think I'll have less shutdowns, or no shutdowns at all? I hope so. And do I need gpu driver for this? Here is my inxi -F :

Graphics:
  Device-1: Intel Core Processor Integrated Graphics driver: i915 v: kernel
  Device-2: AMD Park [Mobility Radeon HD 5430/5450/5470] driver: radeon
  v: kernel
  Device-3: Importek type: USB driver: uvcvideo
  Display: x11 server: X.org 1.20.9 driver: ati,intel,radeon
  unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa resolution: <xdpyinfo missing>
  Message: Unable to show advanced data. Required tool glxinfo missing.

Please specify clearly your question.  Need you ask passwort at
1. Startup notebook  (before start Bootmanager)
2. Startup system (booting)
3. Startup display manager
4. Another case

Info about your graphics card we need yet really not...

The other question in text is "will it overheat as M$ Windows did?"
In such case information about GPU can help.

About overheating, check your support page from vendor, if is available new bios/firmware for update.

Older laptop /PC need cleaning with compressed air every year, and maybe new thermal paste for the processor (and for GPUs for laptops too).

Overheating is 99% HW problem or bad design of cooling.

My bet is your gpu has corona and a corrupt mafia mobo.

Seriously, need more details. Is it overclocked, enough cooling in case and sufficient cpu cooling?
Do you have pets, ie hairs or dust in the cooling?

Definitely not anything related to BIOS. You know while installing, there s the check thing, says "require a password to login" I mean that password. I unchecked that unfortunately.

My gpu spec is intel mobility radeon 5450. I posted it right at the top.

If I good understand, your system after boot login automatically to DE. Which DE and login/desktop  manager you use? (ie. plasma and ssdm, gnome and gdm, yfxe and lightDM?)
