Thanks, Alan, was active and set to 5 minutes, now set to inactive and 2 hours, will see how it goes.

checked all settings, I do not see why I have to input my password
every 6 minutes, if no input. This is a problem with streaming video,
part is missed whilst the password is re-entered. Have tried 3
browsers, same problem. Any suggested solution, appreciated, thanks.


do you mean that the screensaver cuts in? if so just turn it off.
System-preferences-screensaver and turn it off or make the idle time
longer. You can also tell it not to lock the screen when the
screensaver is active, that way it won't ask for the password when you
move the mouse or whatever.
