What happened to my login page after display sleep?

I'm not sure what happened but whenever my display goes to sleep and I click the trackpad to turn it back on, a dialog box shows up asking for my password. Prior to two days ago, when I woke the display the login screen would pop up with my user icon (just like the initial login screen, but without Guest), but now it's just the dialog box with a black screen. Anyone have any idea how this happened, or how to get it back to the way it was? I'm running OSX 10.8.4.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Thank you! I know this is an old post, but I was having the black background issue as well. This prevented my Apple Watch from completing Auto Unlock and it was driving me crazy trying to figure out which obscure option I may have checked that was interfering.


For anybody who stumbles up on this post from Google...

The post above fixed the issue with Apple Watch Auto Unlocking immediately after moving the file. No restart necessary.
