Is there any way to auto-fill the initial ChromeOS Google password?
Rationale: A relative with depression, short-term memory loss, and occasional episodes of anxiety, could really use the simplicity of ChromeOS (and so could her family support team). Except her problem on Windows has been that she compulsively changes her e-mail password, which she invariably forgets.
She's been through all sorts of password recovery options, including contacting Google, but eventually she runs out of chances and has to get a new e-mail address. And since she forgets any contacts' addresses, she can't alert her friends and relatives except via phone. She's given up on e-mail and is now more isolated, adding to her problems.
I realize that ChromeOS will come out of sleep and not require a password. But for those other times....
Thanks for considering.

I don't think so. The Chromebooks allow multiple user accounts linked to Google accounts so having the requirement to enter a Google password on reboot, even if set to be off on returning from sleep, is mandatory.
I'm wondering whether investing in Google Apps for Business might be the answer, thus providing her with a Google email address that you or another relative could administer?
