In company where no sensitive information is handling, another user cannot use and logon to the locked computer without risk breaking signed in session of existing user, forcing him or her to lose all unsaved works. For example, for standalone home PC, re-entering password is simply annoying and troublesome. However, it also presents genuine issues for legitimate usage. As the logged on user is away physically from the PC, requesting and asking the logged in user’s password or administrator’s password to unlock the computer desktop prevents by strangers, hackers, or anyone who passes by. Locking down PC when system goes into sleep or standby or hibernate is a good security measure. Whenever desktop or notebook computer wakes up from sleep, standby or hibernation state (which also happens when user closes laptop’s lid, unless specifically disable sleep on lid closing), the system is locked up on log on screen, and system requests and asks for user’s password in order to unlock the PC and shows the desktop again.
