Computer not requiring not password after waking up

I've recently updated Windows Home Premium to Windows Ultimate and for some reason when my computer wakes up from his sleep, he is no longer requiring a password (huge security issue).  I went through the standard troubleshooting:

(1) reset password

(2) went to: control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\System Settings and made sure 'require a password' has been selected in the section "password on wakeup.  I also turned off and then back on to be sure.

(3) went to: control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings\Change power settings advanced and made sure the "------balanced." require a password on------awakening was set to 'yes' I also turned it to 'no' and then again to yes.

(4) went to sleep and selected screen 'on Resume, the logon screen".

All this was done under my account single tool.  Any ideas?  The only other variable is I have a Dell 2305 all-in-one that has a software called facial recognition program "Fast Access" that must use the webcam to recognize your face and to unlock the computer.  This works very well when you perform a reboot, that I get the password screen, but it is not active as a result.

I am confused?

EDIT: I just noticed that "Lock" does not at all.  It does not work via the start menu or through my shortcut button.  This could be the cause?

Thank you!

Looks like I've found the problem.  The workstation locking has been disabled (I have no idea how).

I had to put the following registry entry to 0:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

I hope this can help someone else.

  • Computer does not have a password after waking up from his sleep.

    To start, I have a laptop Windows 8. I have my laptop set whenever I close the lid, it is supposed to go to mode "Eve" and require a password when I lift up. It does not require a password when I lift the lid and I know for a fact that I have a password set for the characters, fingerprints and photograph, and none of them appear. Simply open up like nothing ever happened. Maybe it's because he's going to do nothing when I close the lid, even if I put it in sleep mode. I don't know if I have accidentally deleted a file or changed a setting, or if I have a virus, but it continues to be.

    It's okay, I discovered that it was a virus or something, but now it is deleted.

  • I am trying to enter a password to get on my computer not password for websites

    I guess that I'm not wording this right.  Just after the ignition of your computer it asks a password before you can go anywhere.

  • Windows 7 password problem: does not recognize password after waking from sleep

    So I have recently buy a netbook with Windows 7 operating system. I create the administrator account and password protect. All right, install software, copy documents, etc. in the "My Documents" folder and happily use the machine for a few days with no problems. Then work off the battery voltage, put the PC in sleep for some time. When I try and log back in after the awakening of the PC, it does not recognize the password. Try with cap locks, off and all the rest, but not luck. I must finally remove the battery and restart. Sign in as normal (the password is recognized) and go in the user administrator account to disable the password, but then again, the current password is not recognized and I am not allowed to make changes. However, I can still close and log on by using the current password. Confused. Anyine have any ideas?

    There is no need to remove the battery or pull the taken when force a PC to stop. By pressing the power button for about ten seconds will do the trick.

    Your password problem: you might be dealing with a foreign keyboard problem. Make the password to something that is independent of the keyboard configuration, for example 123456.

    To reset the administrator password, follow these steps:
    1. click on start.
    2. type the three letters cmd in the search box.
    3. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
    4. click on "run as Administrator".
    5. type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
    net localgroup administrators
    (This will show you the accounts that have administrative privileges. What is?)
    NET user administrator 123456
    (This will set the password to 123456)

  • Tecra R840 not stopped after waking from sleep (USB, BT does not work)

    Hello

    I have a problem with my R840 running win7pro + SSD.

    After he wakes up from his sleep:

    -No USB activity (but there is power in ports because I can see the leds on the external HARD drive or mouse)
    -my Bluetooth mouse no longer works
    -my internet connection will work after 1 or 2 minutes of waiting
    - and... the laptop will not be stopped, unless I press the physical button on / off for 5 seconds or so!

    In Device Manager, everything looks ok! In all power management devices/REPEATER MULTIPORT USB etc is on do not turn off the devices to save energy!

    Already own started the laptop several times and the problem remains.

    Everything is fine if the laptop can't SLEEP!
    But I put it in sleep mode and I wake up it I have all these problems!

    Any suggestions?

    Best regards
    Paulo

    I think it of very difficult to find a solution to this problem because the software (OS) and hardware (SSD) has been changed.

    So the question could appear due to new software and change of material missing or bad drivers.
    To me, it seems that the issue requires further investigation.

    Did you notice the same problems using the preinstalled Toshiba system and the original HARD drive?
    I think that this should be checked first.

    By the way: this is the BIOS updated?

  • USB ports do not work after waking up Satellite A200 from sleep mode

    After that I spend my Satellite A200-244 "sleep" or "hibernate" USB ports do not work!

    Hi mate,

    already tried this:

    Open start and type Device Manager and then press ENTER, to start Device Manager. Click on the sign + next to "Controllers of Bus USB" and then in the list, you should see some devices called 'USB hub root'. For each one, click right, hit properties, go to the power management tab and uncheck the box "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." Then restart.

    Maybe it works. Another solution would probably be this Microsoft KB document:

  • Windows 8 wifi is not connecting after waking up from his sleep.

    HP Envy 15-3247NR

    Recently upgraded to windows 8 pro to windows 7 and I found that I couldn't connect to any wireless network after that the computer is in mode with 8 'sleep'. I've tried everything. Drivers updated, bios, intel. Everything is as it should be, but no matter what, the wifi option remains grayed out if the airplane mode is enabled or disabled. I really want to solve this problem, please help.

    Hello

    Thanks for your posting in the Microsoft community

    As I read the full question, you did not mention what you have taken to correct the isuse of step
    Basically, this problem happens because of the Wifi configuration

    Go to Device Manager by right clicking on the section of the computer,
    And go to the properties of the wireless Ethernet drivers in device list.
    After going to the last TAB properties will be power management, click on this and you will get two options as

    ""Allow this computer turn off wifi to save energy.

    Just uncheck and try again

  • Bluetooth is not ready after waking from sleep on Windows 7

    After updating my Tecra M10 Windows Vista x 64 Enterprise to Windows 7 x 64 enterprise, sometimes, when I wake up the laptop from sleep, Bluetooth is not ready.

    Hibernation does not solve the problem, he needs a reset which is a problem for me because I usually have a lot of open applications.
    In this case, the only Bluetooth devices in Device Manager are:

    * Bluetooth RFCOMM
    * Bluetooth USB Controller-5 at TOSHIBA

    When everything works well, the Bluetooth devices in Device Manager are:

    * Bluetooth RFBUS
    * Bluetooth RFCOMM
    * Bluetooth RFHID
    * Bluetooth USB Controller-5 at TOSHIBA

    How can I restart Bluetooth without having to restart the entire system? Turn wireless on and off the silder side does not work.

  • Can I use a copy of HP OEM of Windows XP on a computer not HP after got rid of HP?

    I have a HP PC with Windows XP pre-installed. Recently, we got rid of this PC. I realized that this restore CD was windows 7 on it. Is there a way I can use this copy of windows on a machine no HP.

    No, you cannot because

    1. If it came from HP is an OEM copy and the license for an OEM version limited to the first computer, on which it is installed.

    2 leaving aside the issue of licensing, it can not even install on a different motherboard. If it came from HP, it can be locked the original motherboard BIOS.

  • Portege M700 Wacom does not respond after hibernation

    I've been using the M700 for two months and I met a very annoying bug. It is not mentioned in this forum so far, but there are other reports on the Internet who mention this problem too. (http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/showthread.php?t=16902)

    * Question: *.

    Tablet is placed in hibernation. When he wakes up, everything seems OK. When you use the stylus or the key functions, that the cursor does not move. Tablet and pen services have not crushed, but there is no link between screen/digitizer and software.

    + Technical support +.
    The series/USB connector is not reset after waking or hibernation is dead the serial connection

    * I tried solutions *.
    So far, I have reinstalled Vista, tried XP (and will stick to it because it's a better OS in many cases) and have reinstalled all kinds of drivers Wacom.

    * What we want *.
    Wacom has also seems to be aware of the problem but says it's a matter of Toshiba. I am impressed with the construction and the quality of the M700 (it is a replacement for my robust but now almost unusable M200 and I have a M400 too, but I never liked it) and this issue is the only glitch I meet.
    I would like to know if anyone else in this forum has experienced a Wacom-coma after the resumption of the hibernation or standby, and if so, if they have found a solution (apart from restarting their PC)

    And I would really like a response from a representative of Toshiba review of this question.

    Hey Buddy

    I m not a M700 owner and, therefore, I can not say much about this issue, but to my knowledge, there are a few different problems with Vista and hibernation mode.
    For example, device high definition audio, screen WLan failed after the resumption of hibernation.
    These issues were definitely Vista problems.

    Installed on Portege M700 Tablet d River was developed by Wacom, I wonder why the guy States that it is a Toshiba issue?  :| (perhaps because this Toshiba laptop s ;)))

    Anyway, you said that you have reinstalled the driver for the tablet of the Toshiba page and updated the Vista of the State. Check the BIOS updated maybe he could improve the functionality

    If this does not work I recommend you contact the ASP to find out if there is a known issue
