Go to Control Panel and double click on Display.
Click on the Screen Saver tab.
Remove the check mark, if present, from the box next to, "On
resume, display Welcome Screen".
Next, click on the "Power" button.
This should launch Power Options.
Click on the Advanced tab.
Remove the check mark, if present, from the box next to "Prompt
for passwords when computer resumes from standby".

Good luck

Control Panel>Display>Screen Saver - uncheck the box that says to ask
for password when resuming from the screensaver.
