Windows 7 is no longer asking for a password when waking from sleep

Windows 7 has been asking password whenever the computer has been coming out of sleep, but he ceased to do this now. I checked and I still have this option turned on. I tried to change the password and not restarted still no change. Can any ideas on how I fix?

Windows seems to be struggling to control this setting sometimes so you must check in three places to make sure it was taken correctly.

1 set the screen saver - Panel, customize, Screensaver [in the lower right corner of the window]. You can change the time and whether or not sign it again after it also activates.

You should then check the opening of session of this parameter in both part

2 power options, [on the left side of the window] require a password on wake up

3 power options, plan {power} active settings change, change of plan avancΘs, [you will have to click on "view the currently hidden settings] {active power plan}, require a password on wake up

Steps 2 & 3 are simply verify that the change has been defined & saved - there should be no problem under normal circumstances.

  • After running System Restore my computer asks for a password when connecting and I don't remember the password.

    I am running Vista Home Premium on a laptop Toshiba Satellite L305.  I ran the system restore due to a problem of "Internet Explorer cannot display the website" (by Microsoft troubleshooting guide for this problem) and selected restore point earlier.  Now the computer asks for a password that I don't remember.  I tried all the possible passwords I can think.   There is only a single user account on this computer.  The administrator account should be disabled, it is not an option when connecting safe mode.  I don't have a system repair disc set.   Is it possible to run the system back restore to select a more recent restore point which does not require a password?  Or y at - it another way to connect to the computer?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/undo-system-restore

    If you tried to use the system restore to solve a problem, but the problem remained or other problems were introduced, you can undo the restore operation. After you cancel the system restore, you can try using a different restore point.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  • admin password and ' run as ' box asking for admin password when I am the administrator

    I tried to open an application and I got a message saying the following: "you may not be the necessary permissions to use all the features of the program you are about to run. And then, it shows an administrator username and asks me a password.

    Hello

    ·          Were there any changes made to your computer before this problem?

    Step 1: Enable the built-in Administrator account and install the program.

    See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555910

    Step 2: Turn off user account control, then check if you are able to install.

    Note: We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.

  • 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)

    Hello

    If you have another administrator account, you can log in with that account and change the password of the account where you have forgotten the password.

    If you do not have another administrator account, you can use a password reset disk, if you have created a.

    If you do not have one of these options, your best solution is to take the computer to a local computer repair shop and ask them to retrieve the password for you.

  • When you try to restore my iPod nano 7th generation what it asks for a password how to find / get around it?

    MY 7th generation nano has his music to wipe and start again.  I tried to restore it in the air several times because it won't let me not in reason to ask for a password to allow this. the password is not my iTunes password. can anyone help? I use an iMac.

    Once the iPod appears in iTunes, it shouldn't be a problem with a password for an iPod nano 7th generation.  If you see a window pop up asking for a password, I think that it is a request for authorization from the Mac OS.  It is not directly related to the iPod or iTunes.  He asks your password for the account of the user admin (for Mac), as when you install the new software.
