Re: How to set a screensaver passwd that is different with account pas

Unlike earlier versions of Windows where a separate password could be
established, I don't believe this can be done natively in XP. This is not
to say that there isn't some third party software that can do it.

No, the passwords are the same for both.

Re: How to set a screensaver passwd that is different with account pas

A third party application that can help you is something called Unlock
Administrator. http://www.e-motional.com/ULAdmin.htm

With this program you can allow more than just the current user to unlock
the screensaver. The extra users do not have to be administrators. Any
user (domain or local) with a valid password can be allowed to unlock the
screensaver using their own password.

Hope this helps.
