How can I get Energy Saver to remain Unlocked?

For some time now (perhaps back to the days of Tiger) I have had a pesky lock that won't stay unlocked on Energy Saver.  Under SL it would be locked every time the system booted up but, once unlocked, it would stay that way until the next system restart.  This was one thing I was actually looking forward to being fixed (i.e., going away for good) when I moved to Mt. Lion.  Sadly, it has gone from bothersome to worse — now, it relocks whenever I quit System Preferences, not just at System restart.  Is there some way to get the lock on Energy Saver to stay unlocked?

Hello keriah,
Have you looked at the settings in System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Advanced? (In bottom right corner) There is an option that reads "Require an Administrator password to access locked preferences," and if this is unchecked, you should be able to leave the Energy Saver preferences unlocked.
Hopefully this helps!
