    Ask for password from sleep but not hibernate


    Is this possible? I have my hard drive on my laptop truecrypted. So when I wake it up from hibernate I have to enter my password at the bootmanager, and then a windows password when I log in, too much work. Especially when the bootmanager password is like 30 characters and the windows one is like 20.


    So is there a way to only ask for a password from sleep but not from hibernate?

    Any word on this? I have feeling it is impossible, but hoping there might be a registry dive that will do the trick.

    I typically only put my laptop to sleep by closing the lid, and when asleep I always have it with me. So, password on wake-from-sleep is silly.

    But, when I hibernate it, I do not always have it with me, so I need to have it prompt for a password on wake.

    One would think that MS would have realized this is a common requirement!

    Necrothread, but I'm looking for the exact same thing as the OP (and for the exact same reason).
    Hibernate: automatic logon
    Sleep: still have to enter the windows password

    I know it's possible to disable the password on "wakeup" entirely, but wakeup covers both Sleep and Hibernate, which is not the desired functionality.
