UNSOLVED
why is my computer locked?!?! -Help...
Every time my laptop goes into sleep mode or I turn it off, then when I revive it or turn it back on, I get a little box saying that the computer is locked and only the administrator can unlock it.
It's not a big deal since I just use my regular password and it unlocks like normal, but I wish it would be the regular sign on screen, like normal.
Any ideas on why it gets locked, and how to fix this issue? Thanks.
If I disable it, will I still get the regular login/sign-on screen like normal? Becuase I want to keep it password protected in the sense that I type my password into the blue, cutesy login screen, I just don't like this message I've been getting about my computer being locked. I want to unlock the computer, but still keep the password feature.
So now that there's a little context, should I still disable the password protect?
Thanks

You have the password protect enabled, which overrides the logon icon.
Restart - tap F12 key - settings - find password - see if it's enabled. user choice, if you keep it enabled then it's operating as it should. If you don't want this then disable it.
