Removing the passworded log-in after rest interval?
Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2013 2:01 pm
Hi all.
I'm new to Ubuntu and gradually 'getting it': ) And liking it.
But my set up is set to sleep after 30 mins and when I waken it I'm confronted with a password page.
I leave my PC on most of the time and just want to access it as and when I choose. (No probs with Vista, at least in that respect)
I don't remember my original PW and in order to restart I need to 'pull the plug', which is obviously not desirable.... Or intended probably.
I'd like to know how I remove this hurdle? I'm the only user and I don't want the password hassle butting into my usage. Whether I remember my password or not.
How do I remove it?
I've got Mint running/installed alongside Vista on this PC and I don't even know how to remove it, in case of problems. The sad Vista OS I need to keep just in case, and I haven't yet moved over all my files.
I'm obviously not fully PC savvy, so please allow for that.
Help/advice please!
John.
