Yeah, I uderstand that but still, the only other option is to disable the pw, which is something you don't really want to do.
Another option is to disable the pw just for sleep and screensaver and use the fast user switching / login window to lock your computer. That way it'll only ask for the pw when you restart and when you lock it yourself but not when only in sleep mode. Just don't leave it in sleep mode when you're gone or anyone would have access.

Some things are mutually exclusive. About the best you can do is put the stuff you would control by remote in a separate, unprotected account. Switch out of your main, password protected account before leaving your machine. Now you can use your remote without jeopardizing things you want protected.
