If I understand you, want the computer to ask for a password when the system
has been left alone for some time and the screen saver has been activated

If so:
Left click on the desktop background... a menu will appear.
Select "Properties"
A dialog will appear called "Display Properties"

Select the Screen Saver tab
Select one of the screen savers, set a "wait" period and check the "on
resume, password protect" option.
Walk away and come back when the screen saver has activated. Move the mouse
or hit a key and you should see a dialog asking for the password to go with
the signed on user account.

Good Luck
