Login and password options can be found in System Preferences > Users & Groups.


Additional options can be found in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General

Under the General tab you will find an option to allow or disable automatic login.


You probably have automatic login enabled. You can read more about it here - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201476


If you've forgotten and need to reset you password - https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/reset-your-mac-login-password-mh35902/mac
