Continually having to swipe my finger, how to delay log off

I have an X301 Vista 64. Every10 minutes I am automatically logged off and have to swipe my finger to gain access to my computer. Where is the setting to change this?  I have searched everywhere including the BIOS.
Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg and welcome to the forum,
Are you actually logged off or is the computer just locked? If logged off that means the user is logged off and all applications are closed. If locked your account is still logged on and the applications are not closed even if you have to swipe the finger to unlock the computer.
If the computer is just locked i'm guessing it's the screensaver settings. Rightclick your desktop and select personalize, click on screensaver and uncheck "on resume display logon screen". Optionally you can increase the number of minutes until the computer is locked if you just think 10 minutes is too short.
Did that fix the problem?

    You can't. But the buyer more than likely restored it because he/she could not use your Apple ID.

    It's Pac-Man's 30th Birthday today, and Google's homepage is a playable Pac-Man game around the Google logo. My boyfriend had the same problem, then I went to Google and was like Hey, it's Pac-Man! And then the siren started. He plays fine on my laptop, but for some reason the music is stuck on his computer.
    All you have to do is disable the "Cool Previews" add on for firefox. Go to the "Tools" link at the top of the browser, go down to "Add Ons", go to the "Cool Previews", click "Disable". Then restart firefox and it should be fine!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Did you log off of the other user accounts? Make sure you go to start-->log off-->log off and not start-->log off-->switch users.
    Also, does this apply?

  • HT1430 how do i log off icloud on my mac book air? It's slowed the MBA to snail's pace

    how do i log off icloud on my mac book air? It's slowed the MBA to snail's pace. I have no reason to use icloud on MBA. I have an iphone that's functional & MBA's only a wordprocessor network'd to other machines & server. iclould serves NO FUNCTION on MBA. I have tried to remove it but have been unable to "log out".

    Icloud is a web based service.  If you are not actively using it, then it has no effect on your MBA.

    Hi angylrayvn, 
    Thank you for posting and welcome to the forum!
    Just to verify, are you referring to the Facebook linked to the People Hub or Messaging applications? If yes, here's how you can log out of it:
    Go to the Settings.
    Select Email + Account.
    Tap and hold Facebook.
    Hit Delete.
    If you're using the Internet Explorer to access your Facebook account, you'll see'Log out' under the page options (it looks like 3 lines at the upper left corner of the Facebook page). 
    If you're using a Facebook application, the Log out option usually shows up when you tap on the 3 dots or ellipsis on the bottom of the page (of course, this will still depend on the application you're using).
    Hope this information helps. 
    Cheers! 

  • How do I log off Firefox ap on Andriod device?

    I just installed Firefox ap on my Nexus 7.
    How do I log out, turn off, when done using it?

    I could not find this. There is no menu on the device according to blogs when I Google the question.
    When Firefox opens there is an option for a Quit Now add on- would this be helpful?
    I love Firefox on my computer. There the X in the upper right hand corner works.
    No such symbol or menu bar appears on my Nexus.
    thank you.

  • How can I log off the old apple ID and on to the new apple ID in Settings icloud?

    I have an old apple ID that is currently signed into my new iphone5s under settings>icloud.
    My new apple ID is signed in elsewhere on the phone.
    I cannot sign out or delete the old apple ID account because I do not know the password.
    I cannot reset the password because i do not know the email where the password is being sent.
    I cannot reset the password via security questions because it is telling me the date of birth I am entering is incorrect.
    I have no idea what to do now.
    Please advise.

    f you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • How do I log off the current user and bring back the authentication dialog box for another user to log in on Iplanet webserver?

    I am using JSP.

    Hey there Mike Novack,
    My understanding is that she replaced the Windows Login with a fingerprint swipe correct? I found some instructions surrounding this here
    So that we can best direct you through the process what operating system are you using on your T61?
    If you are using Windows 7, try going to the control panel, then to the biometric devices, click the option to change your biometric device settings and you should be able to disable it there.

    Contact your carrier and the police. If it was lost in a specific building, ask the people running it.
