We have a workstation that I want to have password
protection when the screensaver comes on. I have put the
checkmark in the Display settings to indicate the
screensaver is password protected, but after I wait 1
minute for the screensaver to come on, I can move the
mouse or touch a key and the normal screen comes right
back up without asking for a password. Am I missing a step?
