auto login sitara am3359 running sdklinux

Hi. Not sure if this is the correct forum for this, if not please advise on that.

What I have:

I have a beaglebone black (2019-2020) booting T.I. sdklinux from sdcard: 

> uname -a

> Linux am335x-evm 4.19.94-gbe5389fd85 #1 PREEMPT Sun Apr 19 03:43:09 UTC 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux

when it boots, it prompts for 'root' by default, no password required.

Our goal:

--> long run is we are exploring using the AM335x platform for our embedded Linux network and communications server in our equipment. 

What I need:

--> to disable that boot-login prompt and jump straight into the admin shell to further launch some programs in demo to some sales folks who are not at all Linux-types. 

I'm fairly well experienced with Linux, but of course that's mostly "desktop class" and the embedded side, between OE provided executables in sdklinux alongside busybox links, is a significantly different beast.

thanks,
