     Probably screensaver is password enabled. Check group policy user
config/admin templates/control panel/display/password protect screen saver.
Otherwise in computer control panel check display properties/screen
saver/enable password. It could even be configured in the registry - don't
know those settings offhand, Google search should find them. --- Steve
