Yes indeed you can have Windows prompt for a password when it is woken up from sleep mode. However, for that to work, your user account must have a password assigned to it so that you'll be prompted for the password everytime you start Windows. This same password is the one Windows asks for on wake up.
So first you need to set a password up on your user account: Control Panel >> User Accounts.
Having done that, Control Panel >> Power Options.
In the left pane, click Require a password on wake-up

Thanks for the reply, but I know about that. I wanted to know if there was any way to require a password on resume from sleep or hibernation, without having one on computer boot-up? Thanks again.
