password protection on wakeup

03-10-2008

It has been asked before but the solutions don't seem to fit my case.
If I go into the power settings and find the :
"Require a password on wakeup" part it is grayed out on yes and won't let me
change it to NO.

Can you help?
I'm just trying to get rid of that anoying extra mouse click I have to make
everytime I bring it out of sleep.

Hi Kay,

You will just need to click on the "Change settings that are currently unavailable" link first before it is not grayed out anymore. This will help you see what I mean if needed.

Hello Kay,

You need to click on the link near the top of the options box "Change
settings that are currently unavailable". Accept the UAC prompt. Then any
greyed out options will become available to you.
