    Perhaps this will help..

    Right click desktop, left clik on personalize.
    Click screen saver bottom right corner.
    If there is a tick in the "On resume display login screen" remove it.

    And another thought;

    You can do start, run netplwiz and remove the tick from "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer"

    You should also look in the CP - Power Options -
    Choose your plan (Balanced?) - Change Plan Settings. - Change Advanced Power settings.
    In the first option, make sure you have "Require a Password on wake up", set to NO
