screensaver not working correctly

Hi,


So my screensaver is not working right.


I have it set to 1 hour and it turns on and locks in 2 minutes.


How do I fix this?


Thanks


Bill

Visit System Preferences : Energy Saver panel and set your Turn display off after 1 hr.


If you do not want your screen to lock with the screen saver, then also visit System Preferences : Security & Privacy : General panel, and uncheck Require a password [ ] after sleep or screen saver begins. You will need your admin password to unlock this panel.
