2. Select the Power Schemes tab.
3. Select the power scheme you wish to modify, and adjust
options in the lists on the screen.
4. Select Apply.

when the notebook is turned on, resumes from standby, or
restores from hibernation.
To set a password prompt:
1. Access the Power Options window.
2. Select the Advanced tab.
3. Select the check box for Prompt for password when the
notebook resumes from standby.
4. Select Apply.
