<LinearLayout
    android:focusable="true" 
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
    android:layout_width="0px" 
    android:layout_height="0px"/>

<!-- :nextFocusUp and :nextFocusLeft have been set to the id of this component
to prevent the dummy from receiving focus again -->
<AutoCompleteTextView android:id="@+id/autotext"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:nextFocusUp="@id/autotext" 
    android:nextFocusLeft="@id/autotext"/>

        android:layout_below="@+id/changePass"

        android:layout_marginTop="167dp"
        android:ems="10"

Disable auto focus on edit text

Add the android:focusable="true" and android:focusableInTouchMode="true" elements in the parent layout of EditText as follow;

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/linearLayout7" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:focusable="true" android:focusableInTouchMode="true">

I think, it should help you.

You can also programmatically change the focus to another item.

 this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

why the on start activity - the focus is on my EditText and i can't remove it?

Add android:focusable="true" & android:focusableInTouchMode="true" to a parent element (LinearLayout/RelativeLayout/FrameLayout/..) of your layout. Because the first focusable element in hierarchy gains the focus the parent element will take it and it should resolve your problem.

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:focusable="true"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
    android:orientation="vertical">

        <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
            android:id="@+id/companyInputLayout"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:errorTextAppearance="@style/error_appearance">

            <AutoCompleteTextView
                android:id="@+id/company"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:hint="@string/prompt_company"
                android:inputType="text"/>

        </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

</LinearLayout>
