    Thanks Shawn.
    I have password enabled for my administrator account.
    The funny thing is dt d whole thing was wking perfectly and then suddenly stopped. I have also repeatedly enabled 'require a password on wake up' from the power options settings and it still doesnt wk.
    I will appreciate further assistance.

    Odd. You might also check to see if this may be the resume from screen saver not set to require a password if screen saver is turned on.

    Thanks Brink.
    I have done what you suggested but still haven't resolved this issue. I feel however that a system cleaner/uninstaller I installed and ran on my system around the time this problem started might have deleted a registry entry leading to this problem.
    I will sincerely appreciate further assistance.
    Many thanks.

    One more thing to check is to see if you may have Windows set to log in to your account automatically at startup.

Hi guys I am wondering if there is any way that I can have my computer require a password after it has been woken up from sleep, or after the screen saver has been on, while I have auto login enabled. I have auto login on because I am too lazy to enter a password every time I start up my computer...

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...
When I put my computer to sleep and wake it up it always asks for my password. Since I'm the only user on this computer and it's set to autologon on startup it's of no use to have the password prompt when returning from sleep. But how can I turn this off? The "Require password on wakeup" in...
