whenever i leave my desktop unattended for two minutes or so and it starts to dim and eventually the screen turns off, i have to sign back in whenever i toggle or try to back on. Does anyone know how i could fix this problem. Its really annoying that i have to sign in every time my screen turns off
 
It's a setting you can adjust.

System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General -> [check box]Require password <drop down> after sleep or screen saver begins

Uncheck the box to disable it completely.
Change the value in the drop down box to adjust how much of a delay there is between going to sleep and asking for a password.


Good luck!!!
