Thinkpads Forum

I've lately only used my T60 at home. When starting the system I do a fingerprint scan. But when I put the laptop into suspend, waking doesn't require a scan or password. When I take my laptop into an environment where I don't want such lax security, how do I turn on password/fingerprint logon when waking from suspend? I've looked in Thinkpad Productivity Center, Administrative Tools and Control Panel and don't see anything.

In both Vista and XP, the option is under Power Management, typically under the name "Require a password on wakeup." I believe you can also set this option through the Power Manager application.

Boy... that isn't easy to find! Thanks!

Edit: To clarify, here's how I found it:

Control Panel
Power Options
Power Manager tab
Launch Power Manager button
Global Power Settings tab
Require password on standby resume check box
