Password after wake not working

New machine with vista. Have it set to hibernate on closing lid. This
works. Also set to ask for password on waking, this is checked but is
grayed out and doesn't work. It just resumes when the power button is
pushed. Any clues?

The most dangerous thing in a combat
zone is an officer with a map.

RE: Password after wake not working

You can only password protect your computer if you have set a password.

To set a password, go to "Control Panel", "User Accounts and Family Safety",
"User Accounts".

Re: Password after wake not working

Yes, but how do you make it ask for it when waking from hibernation.
That is the question.
