If you have your computer on and you go away from it for a while, when you come back you might need to wake it up because its settings put it on sleep, standby or hibernation mode. It is sufficient to click any button on the keyboard to resume what you were doing and turn the screen and the PC on. But at this point, you could face a little issue. In fact the system could prompt you for a password in order to unlock the computer and show  the desktop again. If you don’t want to be bothered by this nagging prompt, here is the trick to disable it.
