I can't address the password protection issue since I don't use it. However, my screen goes blank after 15 minutes. To change the time when your screen goes black, go to settings/control panel/display/screen saver/. At the bottom of this page is "Energy saving features of monitor." Click on settings and change the time to turn off the monitor. I'm running Windows 98SE, so your screens may be set up somewhat differently. Hope this helps.
