try

Start
Run
type
gpedit.msc
click OK

Group Policy Editor opens

navigate to

User Configuration
Administrative Templates
Control Panel
Display

in the right pane there is an option

Password protect the screen saver

default is "Not Configured" but try Enabled

Thank you for your answer, I just follow your advise but all it did was to
set as a default password protected to everyone, meaning that they cannot go
and uncheck the option. I still don't get the pop up for the password, as
soon as click the mouse the scren saver desapears and I am in.

Do you log onto the PC with a password? The screensaver uses your user
password.

Yes I use a password. That is exactly what I espect. but somehow it doesn't
ask me for one

In re-reading your earlier statement "but as soon as i connect to the
network it doesn't work." What network? Company network as in domain? If
that is the case perhaps the policy is the reason?
