Required password on wakeup

Ok, I searched but didn't know how to word it properly, so here is my post. Basically, I want to disable the log on when you come back from a hybernation mode. In otherwords, if you walk away from your laptop for a while, and the computer went to sleep, you wake it by shakeing the mouse or hitting space bar, something. Well, after I do this it comes to a screen with the user name and I have to click it to get on. I just want it to wake up to my desktop.

Normally if you go to Start>>>control panel>>>Power Options>>>Change plan settings>>>Change advanced power settings>>>Require password on wakeup>>>here is wher you can change the option to NO or Yes, well, I want it No and I can't, it is ghosted out and stuck on yes...

Ohh, this is for an HP laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate Student 32 bit

Any ideas?

Thanks!

no shawn, thanks, I'm doing that. This string: Start>>>control panel>>>Power Options>>>Change plan settings>>>Change advanced power settings>>>Require password on wakeup>>> is how you go about changing it, but it is ghosted out and won't let me...I'm thinking I might have to go in the Registry somewhere and change it...

I get the same thing. When I go to "Change plan settings"


Then "Change advanced power settings"


and then attempt to change the "Yes" to a "No"


I cannot. Though it is ill-advised, I don't have a password on my account so the password is not prompted on wakeup. Also, I don't have my system set up to ever go into sleep mode. I changed the setting in "Put the computer to sleep" from "Never" to "10 minutes" and the option to change "Require a password on wakeup" to "No" was still not available.

I have not checked to see if any difference would result were I to have a password on the account.

No, it won't make a diff. I have the same set up on another comp running 7 Pro x64 not student ed. and it works fine....but try it, and let me know, I didn't go that route....

You're right. After setting a password, the option of selecting "No" on "Require a password on wakeup" remained unavailable.

Ah, wonderful, arkhi! I should have read Brink's post a bit more closely.

Just as you and Brink mentioned, arkhi, once one clicks on "Change settings that are currently unavailable"



The options become available:



Oops!

Yes, I also didn't look closely at his post.....I found it and it worked for me as well.....thanks!!!
