    Change User Account Password Settings?


    Every time I open my laptop, I have to put in my password even when it hasn't been shut down.

    Is there a way to set it up where the only time I have to put in the password is after I've shut down or restarted it instead of putting it in after it's simply been closed? Or will I just have to remove the password all together?

    Power Settings > Left side bar "Require a password on wakeup", then "Change settings that are currently unavailable", and now "Don't require a password"
