Disabling the Mac password isn't recommended for security reasons, but you can adjust settings to reduce lock instances. Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General, and uncheck 'Require password...' after sleep or screen saver begins. For a truly password-free login, navigate to Users & Groups, select your profile, click on Login Options, and turn Automatic Login on. Be aware, this can make your Mac less secure. Always consider the implications before making these changes.
