Windows 8 will not ask for password on wake up from sleep

My Dell laptop since the upgrade to windows 8 Windows 7, when I close my lid does not go to sleep, or when I wake to sleep, it does not ask me for a password, everything has been reset to the default values, but I don't know why it doesn't work. someone please help!

The solution, as someone else has asked this question also and got the correct answer - see http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-performance/password-after-sleep/8ef46143-300e-41e8-aafb-b61782b67145 . There is a new setting of Windows 8 on top normal settings in the power settings.

Be aware that setting how long time should pass before asking to specify a password is required is a per-user setting, so if you need to change the default value of 15 minutes, it takes to each user created on the system.

For me, I took me 1 minute rather than always for all users, as it is pleasant, if after an accidental sleep, a user can always resume immediately. But the foregoing I have a password.

  • Windows will not ask for password after disconnection and stop

    machine is aspire R13, WIN 10

    I set up a password for OS - on the machine, do not use a windows account. After the outside panel and closure, opening the lid takes me straight on the desktop without having to ask for a password. What is a password, if anyone can open the lid and have access to everything?

    If instead of disconnecting and leaving the computer to sleep, so he asked a password to wake up - as if an unknown person will have access to the computer to wake up from sleep. How stupid!

    Is that the reason for this is that microsoft is forcing me to use a MS account for the connection in order to use my machine?

    From another forum, the solution was simple: change the password. Now, he asks a password after disconnection.

  • Windows 7 does not ask for password when password protected sharing is on.

    Hi guys,.

    I'm no stranger to permissions etc as I work in it, but it confused me after 4 hours of messing around.

    I'm trying to make sure that when I share a file on my home network that windows requires a password in order to access what it is not doing.

    The following conditions are true for both machines:

    Are windows 7 Home premium

    Have file sharing enabled on each respective network adapter

    Are members of the home network

    Are both on the network, called "WORKING group".

    Assistant file sharing was turned on and off then to make sure it wasn't an influence, it is currently off as he auto-actions the user root folder.

    Network discovery is on

    File sharing and printer is on

    I tried the two combinations of sharing folders public or not, but is currently disabled.

    Streaming media is off

    Password protected sharing is on

    Tried the two combinations of user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers. (This is currently set to allow windows to manage)

    So I won't list them the public parameters are not relevant.

    I put one hand on my laptop remove 'Everyone' and 'administrators' only have my own authorized account which is be an administrator.

    My other machine but I still seem to be able to open and access the folder. I tried to change advanced sharing permissions and security settings to exclude any group that can be let my other pc on the network but so far still no prompt for password.

    I even went to regedit and apply the following on both machines:

    1. Open Registry Editor (Start search - regedit)
    2. navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
    3. create a new DWORD value with the following properties: NAME: LmCompatibilityLevel
    VALUE: 1
    4 reboot your PC and try again to establish the connection.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you people!

    I think I've cracked the question:

    I created a new account admin on my PC and the first time I tried to access anything, I got the password. I don't have it a second time.

    I then removed and put in the passwords and then disconnected cache and back in and asked again the password.

    I tried the same thing on my other account, but it has not yet requested.

    It turns out that even on another computer, if you have the same username and password that it automatically authorizes for good once you enter the network password first.

  • Windows XP does not ask for password for a secure network, wifi not connecting. Says "validating identity".

    Have tried just about everything I can think of. computer is connected to the front secure networks without problem.

    More information would be useful.  Windows XP did not support thereafter until SP3 WPA2 wireless encryption, so if you have not installed SP3 and try to authenticate on a network protected by WPA2, it may not work.

    Assuming that you do not have SP3 installed, try to go into your wireless network configuration / configuration screen.  (There are several different configurations of wireless, including ZeroConfig, but we do not know that you are using).  All most of them save previous in a 'profile' wireless connections so that when he meets this wireless again, he knows how to configure itself.  Find the section of your configuration screen profile, look for the SSID of the router you are trying to connect, and if you see it, then delete that profile.  This will allow your machine to then reconnect to the router wireless with an open mind.

  • Apple Watch does not ask for password

    In recent days, I discovered something disturbing.  If I take off my Apple Watch and put back on without having to type in the code 4 digit, even after an extra charge per night, it will not ask for a password after an hour or two and works normally.  If it's supposed to happen?  I couldn't find anything in the support forums.

    I got my setup shows to use a password because I got it last December.

    Hi Suzanne

    If you use the following settings:

    -On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > detection of wrist - on.

    -On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: Watch My > password > enabled.

    -Also on screen settings of password - unlock with iPhone turned on.

    Then, after putting on your wrist, your watch will unlock after whatever you do first: unlock your watch manually (by entering the access code) or unlock your iPhone.

    Then, it will remain unlocked (including when the screen is idle) until you remove it from your wrist. When you remove your watch, it locks automatically.

  • Restore will not ask for ALL my backup set.

    Had to replace a failing hard drive.  The whole process of installation and update of all my software went seamlessly.  Restore my PERSONAL files, however, has been a nightmare.

    I have a set of 3 backup disks (each successive), but has asked only the FIRST restore disc and then (VERY briefly) used the other.

    Unfortunately, not all the files that he handed in my hard drive are the latest versions, and some of my files are still missing.

    QUESTION: How can I force restore to call for ALL 3 of the consecutive backup drives before he leaves?

    I've been at this for hours, and I got it about.   GRRRR.

    Hello

    1. the restore process hang or fail?
    2. do you get an error message?

    We cannot force all disks to restore both. The backup and restore only will guide you to complete the restore process.

  • Windows Live Mail keeps asking for password

    I have Windows 7 and LiveMail 2011.   My email was working fine this morning and now all of a sudden it kept asking for my password. I contacted Verizon. I changed the password and it works very well on Verizon webmail, but I can not yet send email from LiveMail.

    Here's what he said:
    The connection to the server has failed.
    Subject 'test '.
    Server: 'smtp.verizon.net '.
    Windows Live Mail error ID: 0x800CCC0E
    Protocol: SMTP
    Port: 587
    Secure (SSL): Yes
    Socket error: 10060

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thank you.

    After the case with three officers and deal with 6 hours, the last officer concluded that the problem was on THEIR side! Turns out that I could not yet send an email from Verizon webmail either.

    I don't know what they were doing on their side, but I can finally send emails!

  • The cluster Agent installation does not ask for password Agent

    Hi all
    I try to install configure the management agent on a few nodes of the RAC on Windows Server 2003 64-bit. I installed the agent on other hosts before, but not on clusters. Installation seems to be pretty simple, YES the other nodes automatically detects and installs on them. However, when I do the installation of cluster, I am never invited to the agent registration page register with the administration server. He's asking the host name of the server and port, but never the password. Then the agent installs and starts the service, he is never seen by the administration server.
    Has anyone encountered this before? Is it possible to save it now, or should I just try to reinstall manually?

    This is an expected on windows cluster behavior, registration of the agent will not be asked.
    Once the user installation must ensure the agent on each node manually by emctl sure agent \bin

  • by using a standard user account, when it is run as an administrator, system does not ask for password

    • I created a standard account for one of my children. He installed a program that refused him permission to run. I went to "run as administrator" and should be asked for a username and password to allow him to use the program. Instead he gave me the same error message access denied.
    • I then tried to implement other programs on his desk to run as administrator and they opened, but they ask me password. Why not invite me for a username and passoword?

    But the my administrator account has a password!

  • HP Pavilion 15-n013ca: HP Pavilion - system will not ask for a user connection

    Had a virus - malware.  load malwarebytes and cleared.  I was able to reboot and log in.  I had too many running - Kaspersky, Mcafee and Windows virus protection systems.  Kaspersky has expired, then started the uninstall, frozen system.  I had to do a hard reboot.  I am now in a situation where when I start the laptop, the system receives the background color shows the date and time, but ask not my user name and password.  I can't connect to the laptop at all.

    I don't have a set of boot disks to this system.  I bought with windows 7, improved a couple of years of Windows 8 and never got to create a bootable cd.  What are my options?  I don't know if it's the windows registry which is damaged or not.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello

    As you started to uninstall Kaspersky, the system should created a restore point, if you can try to restore it as follows.

    Stop of the laptop and leave it like that for 10 seconds.

    Tap here to f11 as soon as you press the power button until you see a message "Windows is loading.

    On the next screen, select your Keyboard Layout and on the next screen, select Troubleshooting.

    Select 'Advanced Options', and then select System Restore.

    Click on yourcurrent system O and then wait as the system restore window opens.

    Choose the restore point created before you uninstall Kaspersky and then proceed to the system restore.

    Hello

    Please think about if I'm missing all parameters

    I don't think that a password has already had to update the app store applications that are already installed on your device. Just enter a password when you download an app for the first time.
