Include username and psswd in the config file
Can I include the username and password in the config file so I don´t have to enter it manually?

This capability exists, but only if the copy of openvpn you are using was specifically compiled with that option. The following mailing list thread may further answer your question: http://openvpn.net/archive/openvpn-user ... 00272.html

A much better way to do it would be to generate a new key without a password. If you put a password in a text file it is a security issue.
