I know this is probably a stupid question - so sorry in advance.

I just had my laptop rebuilt and I can not get my XP screen saver password
to work. When I go to display - screen saver and select a screen saver it
does not ask about passwords. In fact none of the screen savers has a
password attached to them. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
