Thank you! I’ve been looking for a way to turn off the resume password, and your solution worked. I’m using Maverick.

Glenn,

I don’t think these settings apply to all users. So if you don’t have a root password you can at most change this setting inside a user account you can already access anyway.

Interesting that the Administrative password is not required to change these settings. It seems to me that could potentially set any computer up for serious security breaches were the perpetrator able to access the computer at the right time. He/she wouldn’t even need a password to do so; just the knowledge.

Worked for me. Thanks for your clear explanation.

I imagine you have the screensaver set to lock the screen when it’s active.

System > Preferences > Screensaver.

At the bottom of the window is a check box with “Lock screen when screensaver is active” next to it. Remove the checkmark.

For some reason they have the screensaver activate when suspending. It seems redundant to me.

This didn’t seem to work for me… changed this setting the GUI way and the suspended my computer, then turned it back on and it required a password to turn back on. Did I miss something?
