    Hey folks,

    On my Samsung Series 5, I am using the Samsung power plan that puts the machine to sleep after a period of time. In the Windows 7 power plan settings, the setting to require password on wakeup is enabled, however it does not actually work when the system is in the instant-on, low-power sleep state.

    The setting does require a password if I instruct Windows 7 to sleep the system, but I want to make sure that the setting is working if the Samsung software puts it to sleep also.

    Any ideas?

    You need to change each plan in advance config to be able to achieve this.
