How do I disable windows 8.1 from asking for a password everytime the screen goes off?

Even if you don't use a screensaver, you still have to go to the Screensaver options and uncheck the box.

Also note that your email server (if it is from a company, enterprise, or school) can enforce password policies that you cannot override without deleting that email account (like cell phones that sync).  This may or may not apply to you.

But here's the full list of places that can create a request for passwords:

1. Right-click Desktop, choose Personalize. Pick Screensaver, then uncheck the box and apply.
   
2. Right-click Start button, choose Control Panel. Go to System and Security.   Click require a password when the computer wakes.

"go to the Screensaver options and uncheck the box".

I have had this box unchecked for long time, it works for the "screensaver": where I am not asked for password.

It does not help for my power options: 
If for instance I have: 
Turn off the display: 5 min.
Put the computer to sleep: 30 min.

Then immediately when the display should turn off, it does not, it shows the lock screen...

and then the hidden feature in power options, "Console lock display off time-out", controls when the display turns off... now touching the mouse, of course I get the lock screen.

HOW to turn off the display WITHOUT any password request????????
But still get password request when the computer has gone to sleep.

Hi,

1. Is the computer connected to domain/ server network?

I would suggest you to create a new user account and check if you face similar issue. Refer to the link to create an account;
