Vista - toshiba laptop comes out of sleep - locked

When my laptop is awakened out of sleep, it should enter right into Windows, but instead comes up to a screen that gives my name and underneath my name it says *locked* --- I click on my name and then Windows opens up.

Instead, I would like to see the machine come out of sleep mode and go instantaneously into Windows.

There's a way to do this of course, and I've forgotten how it's done. Therefore I'm begging your help on this and it will be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Ripsnort,

I believe you will just need to disable the password protection on wakeup option in the Power Plan Options to stop this.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
