Protection of password on wake up no longer works

I used the function 'require a password' for when my computer wakes from sleep for many years through several operating systems and currently under Windows 7. In the last days, I've noticed that when my computer wakes from sleep, it does not require a login. The "require a password" is selected in the chapter "protection of password on wakeup" system power settings options. Does anyone know if a recent update of Windows or the security patch has disabled this feature on some systems?

Hello

Were there any changes made on the computer before the show?

Method 1:

I suggest you for the link and re - activate the option require a password on wake and check if it helps:

How can I change the password requirement when my computer wakes from sleep?

Method 2:

I suggest to create a new user account and check if the problem persists.

Create a user profile.

If the new user profile resolves the problem, you can fix the corrupted profile.

  • Passwords and user name no longer works on Yahoo Mail

    Since Yahoo has changed their login screen a few days ago, that the filling of username and password did not work correctly for me. I deleted the old entrance and tried to bring it back, but it wouldn't show up on firefox. I had to use a booklet to get rid of the autocomplete = false tags so that the connection manager ask to save the password. However it does not fill it when I try to reconnect.

    I really like this feature since I use a long password for Yahoo and Firefox stores better then other browsers.

    This is the brochure that I used.

  • Need password on wake up does not work with two monitors

    I use a laptop with a second monitor attached. I have the settings set to sleep when I close the lid, and then request a password on the reactivation. He does not sleep, and if the second monitor, but when I open again the cover, it does not require a password. It works fine when I don't use the other monitor, so I don't know what the problem is. Any ideas?

    Hello

    1. it worked before?

    2. how to connect the second monitor? What is an extended display?

    3. what happens when you wake the computer from sleep mode? Are you able to look at the screen in the second monitor and the laptop successfully?

    4. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    Method 1:

    I suggest to turn off the prompt for password then that sleep and you can reconfigure the second track again and check.

    Method 2:

    If the problem persists, update the card graphics card and see if it helps.

    I followed these instructions exactly, but the .dmg file that cannot be opened, not gives even me the opportunity to enter the password. I've seen several sets of guidelines online and they all vary a little, none exactly match the options given to me by my computer.

    Can someone direct me to complete, accurate instructions to password - protect an existing folder on my Mac? That understands exactly how to open and close?

    I would be so grateful! :-)

  • "Remember passwords" no longer works

    Tools | Opts | S | Remember password is checked.
    Tools | Opts | S | Saved passwords appear old info password (password that had bee changed for a long time).
    Nothing in privacy is set to clear the passwords...

    It is possible that there is a problem with key3db and signons.sqlite files that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.

    Rename signons3.txt and signons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can add .old files (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) names or move them to another folder to make it possible to cancel the action.

    You must define a new master password after renaming or removing the signons3.txt and all the currently saved passwords are lost.

    If that worked, then you can delete the renamed files that are no longer needed.

  • can't erase or unsupervise or iPad protected by password restoration

    can't erase or unsupervise or iPad protected by password restoration

    a student created an access code for an iPad under surveillance, and now I am unable to restore the unit to the default settings and start over. I tried the update in iTunes, restore in the Configurator, but get message cannot "unable to check the status of surveillance."  I decided to try to unsupervise the device, but cannot because.. ghoulish you guess? ... it's true! ... "device is protected."

    I'll now try to obtain an adult beverage until hopefully a way around it

    Hi strayschool,

    Have you tried to put the iPad into DFU mode? Here's how...

    1. Launch iTunes on your computer and connect your iPad to your computer.
    2. Power Off the iPad by pressing the power button on the top of the iPad for 3 seconds and then drag the slider to power it off the coast.
    3. Once it is off, press and hold the power button on the top of the iPad for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, press on and hold down the Home button and the Start button / stop for 10 seconds.
    4. After 10 seconds, release the Power button but now hold the Home button for 5 seconds. Then release the Home button.
    5. The screen stays black and the iPad should now be in DFU mode. ITunes on your computer should now say that it detects your device and you can restore it.

    If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen then you are in recovery mode (not DFU) and you should try the above steps again. But maybe the recovery mode just need you to bypass the password protected iPad and you can restore... Give it a shot.

    Hope this helps!

  • the hidden administrator account is hidden by default, must it be left enabled and protected by password?

    original title: Hidden Administrator

    Hi, the hidden administrator account is hidden by default, must it be left enabled and protected by password? or must it be left empty without password as default. It is advisable to use this every day as the previous version of windows that you are running as an administrator, or another account should be created?

    These two methods are the same and have the same effect and the same security protection, but which is better?

    These two methods are the same and have the same effect and the same security protection, but which is better?

    If the built-in administrator should be enabled or disabled is really your choice.
    If you decide to keep activated:
    1. give it a password (make a written copy and not to lose).
    2. it MUST not be used on a daily basis.
    3. should your emergency backup Administrator account ONLY.
    4. you must create an account admin with you as an administrator.
    5. the choice is yours. Others will say that you must open a regular user account and use it for every day. If you agree, do.

  • He protected by password sharing request a password every time?

    I have installation public file protected by password sharing on Windows 7 computers and domestic Windows 8 on my network. Everything works fine. I do not use a homegroup.

    On the Windows 7 computer, the first time that I tried to share files in the public folder of Windows 8 asked me to enter the password for my user account of Windows 8. Similarly, on the computer of Windows 8, the first time that my son has tried to share files in the public folder of Windows 7 asked him to enter the password for the user account Windows 7. No problem.
    However, since that first time, none of us asked a password to share public folders. Is this correct? In other words: protected by password sharing should ask for a password each time you want to share, or only time first ?

    It is only meant to ask the first time, and it adds the password your password database to stored passwords.  The password vault is not very well known, but you can access it by typing 'panic room' in your Start menu and see all your saved passwords.
