User 'Locked' after Sleep Mode
Running Vista Business w SP1
Have a simple setup, with one user - an User Account Control is turned OFF. Since I use a Hard Drive Password, I prefer not to use a Windows login password. During normal bootup, my User login occurs automatically, as desired. However, if Vista goes into Sleep mode, when I activate it there is no automatic login. It shows the screen with my User Name and below the icon it says 'Locked'. Since I do Not have a Password set, this just requires hitting Enter to trigger the login - but I'd like to have the login occur automatically. Note that this is a new/replacement laptop - Dell D630, so this is a recent setup. I had been using a D620, also with Vista Business w SP1 and that worked normally. TIA Al |

TIA Al From your desktop right click and empty space and select personalize, then screen saver, then make sure the check box for 'on resume, display logon screen' is uncheck. That should take care of your problem. Netbiznessman |

Netbiznessman Sorry my mistake I meant to say go to your power settings, then select the link to 'change plan settings' then 'require a password on wake up' and set your options to no. That should do the trick. NetBiznessMan |

It did indeed do the trick! I'm impressed... and surprised at how obscure
some of these Vista settings are. Glad I found this Newsgroup. Thanks for the assist. Al "NetBiznessMan" wrote in message ... "NetBiznessMan" wrote in message ... "albenzing" wrote in message ...

Open Control Panel / Power Options. in the selected 'Preferred Plans' section click 'Change Plan Settings' in the selected power plan. In the following window, select 'Change advanced power plan settings'. In the resulting dialog box, expand Additional Settings and Require a password. Click the drop down menu in 'Setting' and select the 'No' option. Click Apply/OK. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "albenzing" wrote in message ...

Thanks Ronnie...
I did receive this tip from NetBiznessMan as well. It does fix my problem, though it certainly is obscure, i.e. all my efforts to find this on my own came up empty. Thanks again.

Hope this will help:
Go to desktop, right click,choose personalize form menu,screen saver, in the right column of "wait -- minutes" uncheck the box called "on resume, dislpay log on". Next important thing is to look down and press "change power settings" choose to change your actual settings: to do this click "change plan settings" adjust the what u want or let it like this. The final solution is down of this screen by choosing "change advance power settings" - select under " require a pass on wake up " NO for battery NO for plug in. Save and restart.
