on my computer every once in a while a box pops up and says your computer has been locked and is in use, only you or administrator can unlock it!

what is this and how do i get rid of it

help would greatly be appreciated

More info on your machine OS and what happened prior to this and someone will be along shortly to assist...

Sylvia is off all this week.

LegoLas · « **Reply #2 on:** October 26, 2006, 03:35:42 AM »

as patio mentioned solution depends on ur OS, but assuming u are running Xp
click start - control panel - user accounts .
there u can find out of ur rights whether u are user or admin (maybe with cutted permisions).
look it through and post back

Welcom to computer hope Coby

first of all since you skipped the "read this first" section I'll fill you in right quick...

most importantly when you start a post try to be more specific than "need help please" so everyone doesnt have to read your post to find out they cant help you... read the "read this first" at the top of the posts it is important if you want better help quicker...

Second
Is this your personal comp. Are you on a network... Do you have a system administrator... I was reading something about locking wokstations remotely for admins but I dont know the details...

EssentiaTech · « **Reply #4 on:** October 26, 2006, 08:18:03 AM »

My guess would be that you're leaving your computer idle for a while, and your screensaver options are kicking in. There's an option that locks the computer when this occurs, requiring the current user or an administrator to unlock the computer before use can continue. It's a security feature that protects your data from physical invasion.

Right click on your desktop and go to properties. From there, go to the screen saver tab. In the "Screensaver" control area, find the checkbox labeled "On Resume, Password Protect". When checked, this will require a password when bringing the computer out of screensaver/powersave mode.

This is all assuming that you are running a Windows XP operating system, and that a period of idle is causing your computer to lock. If you are not running a Windows XP operating system, then it is possible that the Password setting is in a different place, or that the property windows will not look exactly as I described them. If the lock is not caused by a period of idle, then you have a very interesting issue and I'd like to be kept up to date on the solution, because that's something that I've never seen before.

we should require members to make at least 2 visits to their own posts before we reply

LegoLas · « **Reply #7 on:** October 27, 2006, 12:50:41 AM »

Not sure it will help.
The Users might just skipp this forum and join other, where he/she won't need to view twice his post before reply.
There should be another way to force them posting back (say, email attack).

What do u think, guys ?
