Locked Out

[Guest]

When my computer is idle for more than a couple of hours, it locks me out. It
says to enter my password.....I didn't even know I had a password for
windows? Please help. The only way I can get into anything is to restart my
computer....this is becoming a pain.

Display applet>Screen Saver tab - uncheck the box that requires a
password when resuming from Standby.
