Default computer locks and requires password

If I step away from my computer for more than a few minutes, it locks and
requires me to enter my user password to get back in. It presents me with
the log-in screen. The computer is at home so I don't need it to be that
secure. How can I modify or disable this feature? I cant find it anywhere in
the control panels.

Check your screensaver.
Does it have "[x] On resume, display logon screen" ?
uncheck it, or increase the wait time.

It was set for 10 mins. I bumped it up to 45. Thanks.
