Go to the Power Management applet in Control Panel and uncheck the box
that requires a password when resuming from sleep mode. There is a
second place where you'll find a similar checkbox and that's under the
Screensavers tab (Personalize).

Glad that worked for you. I don't know why you had the problem so I
can't answer your last question. If everything is working and you know
the computer is completely virus/malware-free, I'd just Move On.

Thanks for taking the time to post back.
