| Vista asks for password even though disabled I have "Require a password on wakeup" set to "No". I have no screen saver, and all power management settings are set to "Never". I've noticed that if I don't access the system for a day or two, when I come back to it, I am asked for a password. Is there a way to disable this "feature"? We have test systems that may sit idle for days and then are expected to be available. Thanks, -- Bill Baker      |

| Re: Vista asks for password even though disabled There are actually two options for the password. One, is for when you are on battery and another for when you are plugged in. Maybe you changed only one of them?

| Re: Vista asks for password even though disabled Thanks for the reply. I use powercfg to disable everything: %windir%\system32\powercfg.exe -CHANGE -monitor-timeout-ac 0 %windir%\system32\powercfg.exe -CHANGE -monitor-timeout-dc 0 %windir%\system32\powercfg.exe -CHANGE -disk-timeout-ac 0 %windir%\system32\powercfg.exe -CHANGE -disk-timeout-dc 0 %windir%\system32\powercfg.exe -CHANGE -standby-timeout-ac 0 %windir%\system32\powercfg.exe -CHANGE -standby-timeout-dc 0 %windir%\system32\powercfg.exe -CHANGE -hibernate-timeout-ac 0 %windir%\system32\powercfg.exe -CHANGE -hibernate-timeout-dc 0 Is there somewhere else where the passwords need to be disabled? I only see one option in the Advanced Power Management settings: +Additional Settings, +Require a password on wakeup, +Setting: No. Thanks, -- Bill Baker "HDFatBoy2003" wrote: [color=blue] > There are actually two options for the password.

| Re: Vista asks for password even though disabled Don't think so. I think the User Account area is linked to the Power Config, so if you change one you change both. That is unless you have multiple user accounts on you system. Then you have to change the settings in both places.
