Startup password

I turned of the startup password and it worked fine then my mac crashed and the startup password returned with the mac background picture. I have tried turning it back on in preferences then shutting it down and restarting the computer. Then turning the password off again in preferences and again turning it off and on again... No joy. It still asks for the password.

iMac, macOS 10.12
