The only time I get asked for the password at startup is if I closed
Emacs with desktop-save-mode set to t, and a "/su::" file open.  I make
sure to kill those buffers as soon as I'm done with them and then no
problems!

If, on the other hand, you still get this behavior then please file a
bug report.
