I have new AME 600 I set up at home. It now requires a password every time it wakes up from sleep. I ended up Administrator and can't get it to stop requiring a password.

    Hi digger

     

    See here on how to remove the password on waking up from sleep.

    I had high hopes when I seen a reply'; but everything was covered except Windows 8. I have done all the Windows 7 steps, but it seems to wake one time not requiring the password but reverts from then on.

    Windows 8 does not seem to be work friendly, I estimate and need multiple files open which doesn't seem to work very well. Can I download a new Window 7?

    Odd, the Windows 8 steps are the same as Windows 7....

     

    In answer to your other question, you may be able to change to Windows 7, but you'll need to check Acer support to see if drivers are available for your model, plus you would have to buy a full retail copy.

    The reply was for Windows 7 and earlier so it was no help. I still have to use a password after the computer comes out of sleep mode. I can't believe Windows or Microsoft are unable to remedy this. It's surely not that big a deal.
