How do I password protect a screensaver in Windows 8?

I don't have any options in Windows 8 on my XPS 8700 to password protect a screensaver. The closest thing I've found is to set up in Policies to have my PC go back to the logon screen after a certain specified time and to click "On reume, display logon screen". Any ideas?

Thank you, I have already done this, and it brings me back to the logon screen. If I modify the regitry it forces the option, but I assume there is no screen saver password as such.

Thanks again.
