New to windows 8 Have had it since it came out. Never had to use password before but did something and now if I am working and leave for a few seconds my screen saver comes on and I have to use my password to continue. What a pain. Any help??

I've scoured the net to no avail. I DO NOT WANT TO RAISE THE TASK BAR, I simply want to see what I used to see before this glitch occurred. I've adjusted the region settings and everything else I could find, no go. My lap top, HP Win 7 64 bit, displays the entire name of the day, the short...
