computer help - screen saver delay
I'm working temporarily filing in for a guy on vacation. They log me on to his computer every morning, but after ten minutes or so the screen saver comes on and locks the computer. and I have to go get somebody who knows the password to log me back in. I can't set the screen saver to wait longer before locking the computer, I already tried that. Is there something else I can do to pro-long it automatically logging me out? I'm not at the computer all the time, but need it regularly througout the day.
thanks

EDIT: there used to be a thing called advantage, where somebody paid you to surf the web. then somebody came out with a program called "MY Advantage" that would sit there and visit websites all night long while you slept. Something like that would do the trick.

Just make a point of walking by the computer and moving the mouse every 9 minutes. 
Actually, rather than disable the password, ask them to change it to something you can be told. When you leave, they can change it back to whatever it was before.

Tell thm to disable the screen saver...
SHEESH.....
It's just that easy
If the guy who left was that paranoid he should have provided his own replacement

they ended up giving me the password. the guy who's computer it is wasn't paranoid, I was working in "Medical Records" at a back institute and that's a rule around there, patient privacy n' all. I tried disabling the screen saver, but whoever, the IT guys, had disabled my ability to do that too. and I'm not that much of a computer guru.
thanks for the help
happy holidays from Texas yall :-)
