Required user sign in after 5 minutes of inactivity

Just had new battery and main logic board put into my mid-2014 MacBook pro. While operating, if I don't use for 5 minutes it automatically goes back to the user sign inpage. How do I increase the amount of inactivity time it takes before requiring sign in.


thx.

Click on Apple logo(top left corner) -> System preferences -> Energy saver. There you can set time required to make Mac asleep. Or you can restore it to defaults. Also you can try to visit Security & Privacy and then you can change time system needs to require password.
