Disable password requirement after sleep/standby 10.8

mbp running mountain lion. im trying to disable the password requirement to log back in after sleep. ive read that there is some box to uncheck "require password after sleep or screensaver" but i dont see it. i see "require password" in security but there is no box. the only option is to select the dropdown menu and select "immediately" or "1 hour".

you don't see this on system preferences - security and privacy?

  • Disable password required - formerly set by BES

    I am giving my wife my Pearl - it was formerly managed by our companies' BES server. They set the password required option (so it has that irritating little red lock near in in the options.) Is there a way I can clear any and all corporate mandated setting now that it will no longer be used on the corporate plan?
    Thanks,
    Bob

  • IPad WEP password required after power off.

    Hi,
    On my ipad mini I am required to re-enter my WEP password after power off.
    Why is this and how do I prevent it from happening?
    This does not occur on my mbp or iphone 4s.
    Thanks,
    Rob.

    Although it should work flawlessly, for some reason mobile devices don't always play nice with WEP.  You're far better off  with WPA2 (security-wise)  anyway.  If you have the ability to change your network's security, it might be easier to just get away from WEP than to try to make your mini work with it.

  • Power reset required after sleep

    Often when I put my iMac to sleep in the evening I find the system unresponsive when I come to use it the next day. I can see instantly that the system has an issue because I see that the screen backlight is on. The system does not react to any mouse or keyboard input and requires a power off reset to restart.
    I thought that the issue may involve Parallels which is often running when I have this issue , however, I have spoken with Parallels support who recommended removing parallels, repairing the disk permissions and reinstalling Parallels which appears to have had no effect.
    The iMac is very new and was purchased in November 2014 and is configured with a 3.5GHz i7 processor, 16GB or RAM 3TB HD and NVIDEA 980 graphics card.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, I am relatively new to Mac architecture and I'm still finding my way around the OS.
    Thanks in advance,
    Stuart

    I only sleep my iMac's display, never it or its HDs. Never have a problem. Give it a shot, hard resets will waste more juice and shorten its life than sleeping it, IMO.

  • Screen lock password requirement after iOS7 update

    hi there
    problem:
    my ipad air is requesting a passcode after ios 7 update...
    what happened?
    just bought an ipad air 32gb wifi -
    came home, went through the setup process WITHOUT activating a passcode -
    after the update my ipad asked me for a passcode
    I have no clue which passcode they are asking for, since Ive decided NOT to activate any passcode on my ipad!
    I tried to use my apple ID passcode, but it doesnt work I tried my "find your ipone" passcode but it doesnt work neither...!
    I have no clue what else I could do...the apple support articles are not helpful on this matter...
    any ideas or solutions WITHOUT resetting my ipad air are highly appreciated
    Thank you all in advance
    p.s I will also update you when Ive found a solution!

    There are no solutions other than restoring your iPad and you have to use the same instructions that you would for a forgotten passcode.
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong ...
    You are not the first person that I have seen report this same thing occurring when they updated to iOS 7 or higher. Why this happens, I can't answer, but I can tell you that unless something miraculous occurs, you will have to restore the device.
    You may need to use Find My iPad or use Recovery Mode. Both are explained at the end of that kb article that I linked above.

  • Password after sleep but not when starting?

    I have set the option to require a password immediately after sleep or screen saver begins, and that works fine. Waking from sleep requires a password. However, if I shut down the computer and then start up again, I'm not required to enter a password. Can't seem to locate the settings to require a password in that situation.Any suggestions?

    That's under users in system preferences. Unlock if necessary and look under Login Options -> Automatic Login.

  • How can I require a password to change the "Require password after sleep or screen saver begins" setting

    My son has a habit of disabling the "Require password after sleep or screen saver begins" setting whenever my wife lets him play a game on her account.  I notice every other setting on the "Security & Privacy -> General" tab is protected by the lock on the lower left corner.  I've never understood why this one is not.  Is there any way that I can get that setting to also be controlled by the lock?

    Because that setting is specific to the account currently logged in and doesn't potentially affect any others or the system itself, which is the level in general at which administrator or root access is required.

  • Checkbox disappeared: Require password ... after sleep ...

    Hi Apple friends,
    System Preferences  ->  Security & Privacy  ->  General  ->  Require password [1 hour] after sleep or screen saver begins
    What happened to the checkbox right before this preference? It has disappeared!!
    It was there right after I had installed Lion, but it disappeared after a few minutes.
    So now, after one hour or more of computer sleep, I always have to enter the password, which can be annoying when you're home alone.
    The only thing I can think of is that it might have something to do with FileVault, which I'm using.
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers!

    Just for the record:
    FileVault is indeed, the culprit here, see:

  • How can a disable the password required to login?

    I have a new Macbook Pro retina display.  I am the only user of the computer, and I would really like to be able to open and use my computer without being asked for my login password everytime.  I have searched this forum for the answer, but I am more confused now than before?  One of the answers says to simply go to "Security & Privacy" > General and simply uncheck the box in front of the line that says "require password ***** after sleep or screen saver begins".  They even show a screen shot clearly showing this box.  The problem is that on my Macbook Pro, when I go to this location, there is NO box in front of that line!  There is a small window where I can choose between "immediately - 1 hour", but that is it.  Am I doing something wrong?  Does anyone know how I can turn off this prompt for the login password?
    Thank you!
    Lincoln

    Try this...
    System Preferences > Users and Groups
    Choose your username then click on "Log In Options" below
    Next, turn "Automatic login" to ON then supply the password to your account
    Then, in the "Security & Privacy" Section, make sure "Disable automatic login" is OFF

  • Disable AD user after first successful login (after password change) after x amount of days regardless of activity

    I've been searching for over a week high and low now trying to find a way to do this via PS.
    We'd like to lockout certain users (we can put them in a group/OU) 30 days after their first successful log in - the one requiring
    password change by them.
    And we'd like to disable it REGARDLESS of their activity.
    All the tips and scripts I've found look for 'inactivity', date created etc.
    Only parameters I need are 30 days AFTER the first log in. Accounts might be created 60 days before actual use, but still need to be disabled 30 days after their first successful log in.
    Any tips would be GREATLY appreciated!

    I don't think you're going to get the kind of solution you want via scripting. As jrv noted, usually this kind of issue is managed by using account expiration and password expiration. If that won't work for you, then I would recommend looking into supported
    third party tools that can help you get where you need to go.
    -- Bill Stewart [Bill_Stewart]
    As Bill points out you  need to look into third party tools.  If there is any legitimate legal or industry need for this then there wil be third party tools.  Having worked in medical software systems \I can tell you there is not. There are
    old systems that use now-obsolete mechanisms that do things similar to what you are asking.  They are no longer usable.
    I think if you sat down with those asking you to do this and had them get the actual industry and government rules on the table you would see that this is not what they are asking you to do.  It aslo doesn't make much sense from a technical standpoint.
    Just set the password expiration.  That is what it is designed for. To force reauth just set the account so the user cannot set the password.  Use the reauth web page to allow the user to set a new password.  Use the corporate disclaimer
    or a desktop link to notify users what to do when the password expires.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Wireless Adapter permanently disabled after sleep mode - Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello,
    Info:
    Laptop: 2014 Macbook Pro running Bootcamp (dual boot...not a VM) with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
    OS: Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
    Network Adapter: Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter
    Driver version: 6.30.223.215
    Issue: My broadcom 802.11ac wireless adapter becomes permanently disabled when waking from sleep mode. It requires a restart in order to become enabled. If I try to manually re-enable it, I get a message saying "Enabling..." -> "Enabled!" but after this message the device still says Disabled and the wireless still won't connect to anything. This issue is very reproducible. Occurs both under battery power and when plugged in.
    What have I tried?: Tried disabling the "Allow windows to disable this device to save power" under power management, which didn't work. Tried updating driver but Windows Update says the driver is up to date. I was able to find a newer version (6.30.223.227) but I can only find it hosted on Russian websites which makes me a little suspicious.

    Many thanks to chemnerd1's hints - saved me going mad.
    My problem was that the wifi worked perfectly until connected to a Thunderbolt display - then the wifi was permanently disabled (nothing would enable it; changing driver, changing wifi channel, uninstalling and reinstalling wifi, nothing worked). As you can imagine I was very disapointed after spending a fortune on the Thunderbolt display (brilliant kit) and then finding that I maybe only have wired internet available!
    Definately, Zone Alarm was the problem (maybe other firewalls cause the same /similar problem).
    My solution was -
    uninstalled Zone Alarm (safe mode not required)
    reboot with Thunderbolt display connected (checked that wifi now working)
    reinstall Zone Alarm (important that Thunderbolt display is still connected)
    reboot - checked and wifi still working perfectly - wonderful
    I have to confess that I was initially blaming Apple for the problem. I did loads of searches to try and solve this and a lot of links ended with conclusions that Apple doesn't care. Well in this case it wasn't Apple's fault.

    Thanks for the help guys. Disabling Touch ID allows me to see other options...Although I don't understand why Apple would feel the need to put that restriction in place. Doesn't seem to be any sense behind it..

  • Re-connecting SMB shares after sleep or standby?

    I have searched the forums for an answer but no real solution have been found yet, maybe you can help?
    Iäm currently using my Mac Mini in a Windows 2003 Server network. It's a workgroup and there is only one server. I have two shares on the Win2003 Server that I connect to from the Mac using the regular SMB "Connect to server" procedure. The shares mounts fine and everything is accessible, both read/write on NTFS.
    Now, I have set my Mac to go to sleep after 1 hour of inactivity. When I wake it up, the SMB share mounts are gone so I need to manually reconnect them. I have an Applescript that I doubleclick on that reconnects the shares, again all without errors. I ususally don't shutdown the Mini via Apple-Shutdown but rather just by quickly pressing the powerbutton on the back of the mini for standby, when waking up the shares are gone.
    Is it possible to "hard mount" the shares so they stay accessible after sleep, like they do in WinXP for instance?
    I´ve read about "automount" but it only seems to address auto-login scripts and I have no problem with mounting at login. Someone mentioned that it's possible to create an alias to the shares and place them in the right hand side of the dock and that should make the shares auto-mount when clicked, how is that done exactly?
    The simple solution would be to disable sleep and to always shutting down the Mini, but the instant wake-up is so useful that I really don´t want to wait for it to get ready.
    Any suggestions and tips are welcome, thanks!

    Thanks for the reply.
    Regarding questions 1-3:
    1-2 Yes.
    3. Yes, and same error shows up directly after launching puNetDaemon.
    I didn't have the share's login stored in keychain because I was using a script that provided the login, thanks for pointing that out. I have made sure to connect to the share via Finder and to tick "store in keychain" and the share (E$) now connects automatically via Finder >> Go >> Connect to Server.
    But I still get the same error. I have posted my ch.pusoft.txt below:
