If I walk away, it eventually goes to sleep and then when I waken it up again, it is ready for business again. This is good, but it means that anyone can do this to my Macbook. How do I set it up so that when booting from an OFF state, it requires a password to complete the boot up, and then when in sleep mode, to waken it up again, also requires a password. This is standard fare for the PC I use and I'm sure is an accessible feature in OSX but I'm not sure how to make it do this. Can anyone enlighten me please? Regards Peter...
