    In windows 8, I set my power option to sleep after 45 mins of no usage. When I come back to use the PC again after 45 mins I have to enter my password. How do i avoid having to enter the password?

    thx

    go to power options, change what the power button does, click on "change settings that are currently unavailable" then choose Don't Require password at the bottom
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...

    All control panel items > power options > Require a password on wakeup > change settings that are currently unavailable > tick "don't require a password"
