No password on wake / lock-screen in 10.4.7

I did the update from 10.4.6 to 10.4.7 and now my MacBook Pro will not ask me for a password when waking from sleep or screen saver. Usually I have the Keychain menu visible and select "Lock Screen", but this also does not require a password. I've tried un-setting the preference and setting it again, but that does not work. Anyone had this happen before? How do I correct the issue?

OK... looks like its fixed. Here is what I did. Remove the following file from your Preferences folder:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.plist
and place it on your desktop in case you want to restore it.
Log out of your user account and log back in. That did the trick for me and I have my password requirement back as normal.

  • I have forgot my password for my lock screen what can i do to get on it?

    i have forgot my password for my lock screen, and it now says connect to iTunes but it isnt connecting i want to know how to get it on?

    2 options
    1. restore it to a backup you took before you put a password on
    2. restore it to factory settings if there was a work around then the whole password thing would be rather pointless and security would be absent

  • Pro Camera requires password entry on lock screen

    Of course, as soon as it was available on my Lumia 925, I set the Nokia Pro Camera as the default app to launch when the camera button is pressed. I noticed though, that when the phone is locked, the Pro Camera app won't launch unless I enter the lock screen password. The default camera app did not require this, instead allowing you to take new pictures. Having to enter the password can be a spontaneity killer when the right shot presents itself.
    Is this a 'feature' of Pro Camera, or is there some setting where I can change this behavior? If it is indeed a 'feature', please consider allowing access to the app without having to enter the lock screen password, just like the default camera app does.
    Thank you,
    LumiaJohn

    Hi, 
    Unfortunately, there is no way to change this behaviour as of now. This is very frustrating and limits the startup time of ProCamera app, which can lead to some precious moments from getting missed!
    I think this is a limitation of Windows Phone OS.

  • Apple should provide forgotten password option on lock screen

    My experience on Ipad is turning to be really bad because of this problem.

    There would be no point in having a passcode in the first place if that option was available.

  • Lumia - Lock Screen Password

    I want to enable password for my lock screen. But it doesnt work as I expected. It says that I can set a particular time that password will enable. And I did set for example one minute till the password will enable, before a minute and my screen is locked, I have to input the password.
    and i'm wondering why the lock screen password also lock my child enable screen? The password should be enable only for my screen, not to my kid screen.
    I hope, nokia or microsoft can solve this ackward. Thank you.

    cannot say why you are having a challenge if the kids corner is locking too.
    are you sure that when you tap the power button to turn on, that you are swiping to the right FIRST and then up? because on my device, the lock shows on my screen but after i swipe to the kids login, it does not require the pin.

  • Is it possible to invoke 'change password' from lock screen/siri?

    I've a similar situation as in  https://discussions.apple.com/message/23875981#23875981
    I set the passcode using international keyboard with 'dead key' characters. The keyboard module in the change passcode application worked correct to change my two keystrokes to one. But the lock screen's keyboard is not behaving the same and I'm locked out now. (even though I know my password!)
    Is it possible to change the password while in lock screen? Or is there any other solution for this issue other than restoring the iphone?

    If the passcode will not work, the only alternative is to restore the phone as new. You cannot change the passcode from the lock screen.

  • IPhone lock screen is so small that I can't click for the right password!

    I never had password on my iPhone 4, last night since I was going abroad, I turned on the password. When the screen was locked, and I turned it on again, the screen for password and the numbers got so small in the left side bottom, which I cannot click on one number and not the others!
    I took it to the airport cellphones but they couldn't do anything about it! Even that style pro pen for iPad and iPhone didn't work!
    What should I do? I don't want to reset my iPhone! I have a lot of stuff on it!

    You will not lose data if you reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again.
    Only if this does not bring back the normal size of your screen, a restore is needed.
