how do i set the password settings of a user (named: interface) to not asked on login via the command line on ubuntuMATE?

i need to do this via the command line because the screen resolution on the raspberry pi is a very low 420x360 making doing it via the GUI impossible since it doesn't display fully.

```

When you enter your password, the following file will open:
