[QUOTE="fparedesg, post: 882812, member: 113462"] Hey there Mac-Forums. I have the "Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver" option checked. I wanted to be able to 'lock' the computer, like in Windows, every time I stop using it (Windows Key + L), so I downloaded a program called [URL="http://www.gkoya.com/2006/11/23/locktight-for-mac-os-x-intel/"]Locktight[/URL]. Locktight works, meaning, every time I press the lock keyboard shortcut, the screensaver activates, however, once I move the mouse to use my computer, it doesn't ask for my password. Everytime I either lock the computer, put it to sleep, or the screensaver activates by itself, it doesn't ask me for my password, even though the option to ask for my password (in Security) is enabled. Thanks to anyone that helps. Mac OS X 10.5.7 [/QUOTE]
