    Hi! I'm using an XPS M1210 and everytime I come back from the screensaver, I have to insert my user login password.

    I don't have it set this way in the Dell QuickSet app. Can anyone help me where to cancel this function?

    Thanks!

    Right click on the desktop.
    Click on Properties.
    Then Screen saver.
    Look for "On Resume, password protect"
    Make sure the box is not checked.
    Then click Apply or OK.
    That should work.
