I am the only one using my computer and hate to have to put in a password everytime my computer goes to sleep
if you wish to keep the password for when the computer first turns on, but dont want to have to type it in after the PC has been in sleep, here are instructions
in Windows XP, do this:
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Click Performance and Maintenance.
Click Power Options.
Click Advanced tab.
Under 'Options' section, uncheck the check box for Prompt for password when computer resume from standby option.
In Windows Vista, 7 or 8/ 8.1, here are the steps
go to control panel,
then system and security,
then power options.
click change plan settings next to the active plan,
then click change advanced power settings.
click the link at the top, which says 'change settings that are not available',
and then change the 'require password on wakeup' option so it says no
hope you are able to understand this , and i hope it helps
