TOPIC

I am having a problem with the password security feature on the Macintosh PowerBook 190 computer. If the password security is turned on and is set to "ask password on wake", the computer will not sleep. How can I fix this?

DISCUSSION

Issue

There is a known issue with the password security feature on the PowerBook 5300 and 190 series computers. If you open the Password Security control panel and set the password security is turned on and is set for ask password on wake, the unit will not sleep.

Workaround

One workaround is to turn off the "ask for password on wake" feature. If this is done, the PowerBook will be able to sleep.

Resolution

This issue is resolved by installing the System 7.5 Update 2.0 which includes the Password Security 1.0.3 control panel. The Famous Apple!
