I don’t know if this is exactly the same problem, but the same thing happens 
with me on my MacBook Air whenever the screen goes dark usually five minutes of 
inactivity and the screen goes down. When it does voiceover says logon Philip 
Halton logon Philip Halton. It doesn’t mean anything it’s just making noise and 
all I have to do is wake up the computer by touching a key and I’m back in 
business I don’t need to actually logon. Again, don’t know if this is what’s 
going on with you but it sounds similar. Are you saying that you can’t use your 
computer? That you are logged off? What is the ramification of this for you.
