It doesn't log you out. The screen-saver is password-protected. Change
this setting by going to "System - Preferences - Screensaver" and
unticking "Lock screen...".

Change the keyring password by going to "System - Preferences -
Passwords and Encryption Keys", right-clicking on the keyring, and
selecting "Change password".
