How do I set a screensaver password?
Woof! *wags tail*
This may make me sound stupid, but how do I set screensaver password? In start/settings/control panel/display screen saver, I see the "on resume password protect" checkbox, but I can't find how to set the pasword :-P |

How do I set a screensaver password?
Doesn't it just use your user login password? Have you tried that? I don't
think the intent here is for you to set a special password just for resume. "Moonbarker Osbourne" wrote in message ...

How do I set a screensaver password?
By "user login password" do you mean when I turn my comp on? I've never done
that, have never had even the slightest need for it. All I want to do is to know how to set a password on disabling the screensaver like what it was in earlier versions of Windows "Colin Barnhorst" wrote: Doesn't it just use your user login password?

How do I set a screensaver password?
I think you do one password for both or no password for both. To use a
password for resume you will need to use one for the login. It may be that the blank password will work with resume but I have always used a password and just don't know. Hopefully someone who does will chime in. "Moonbarker Osbourne" wrote in message ... By "user login password" do you mean when I turn my comp on?

Colin is correct, when you check the box "on resume password protect", it will bring you to the login screen like the one you see when the computer powers on. To add a password to your account, you need to go to Start - Control Panel - User Accounts then click your username and click the create password button. Cheers ~Derail |

Perhaps you never bothered to specify a password which means its value is blank, so use a blank password. If you used auto-logging (i.e., auto-login when Windows starts) then you are automatically logging under your account and whatever password is assigned to that account's login is the same one you use for the screensaver. Go under User Accounts in Control Panel to change your password (but you will have to know what is the current or old one). |
