Waste Server Startup script

[livet0ski]

Hey everyone,
I have a quick question. I have a server the I want to start at startup. I'm guessing that I would put a symlink in /etc/init.d/ and then have it run at startup, the only problem is that this server requires a password right after startup. There no options to put the password in at startup of the server, but about 2 seconds after startup, it asks for a password. I obviously know the password, but I'm trying to make it so i can just turn on my Ubuntu box and leave it. How would I do this, i'm no expert at scripts.
Thanks,
Pat
