Hello This is my first post to the list. I received my first Mac only on Saturday, so I am glad my first message is one where I, as a new user, can offer some help.
I had exactly this problem. A Twitter user pointed me to this podcast. I suggest you listen to it and follow the instructions to the letter. Be sure in particular to unlock the settings for being able to change the logon settings as directed in the podcast.

I have to tap command+f5 > to read the prompt for username, at which point I enter in my apple ID then tab for my password, then the thing boots up and voiceover comes up talking. as for auto login, I've trued, but can't seem to find that option anywhere. oh well, I'll keep rooting around, I'm sure I'll find it somewhere. > On 27 Apr 2015, at 13:14, Travis Siegel <tsie...@softcon.com> wrote: > > Usually, if you have voiceover turned on, it will start talking when the machine reboots. However, if it doesn't do this, you'll need to go into your account settings, and check the box that says use voiceover on login screen. > If you want to have it log you in automatically, and there's only one account on the machine, you can select that option in your account preferences as well. You may be able to select the user to log in as if you have multiple accounts, but I don't know this for sure, as I've never used the login automatically option, since I don't like folks having access to my machine w/o me around to validate them. > Hope this helps, and that it's still valid, since 10.9 isn't an s version I've used (yet) but the steps should be pretty similar regardless. > > On Apr 26, 2015, at 11:24 PM, blind man wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> how do I get voiceover to start up at the login screen from either a cold boot or restart? >> I've managed to get it to start after login, but I actually have to enable it before I can login to the machine. >> also is there a way I can for my mac to auto-login to my current user account? >> >> I'm currently using yosemite on a 2014 macbook air. >> >> <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> >> >> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net >> >> You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at the list's public Mail Archive: >> <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>. >> Subscribe to the list's RSS feed from: >> <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/maillist.xml> >> >> As the Mac Access Dot Net administrators, we always strive to ensure that the Mac-Access E-Mal list remains malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free.
