<title>The screen locks itself too quickly</title>

- <p>The screen may lock itself quite quickly, e.g. within 5 minutes of idle time. Explain what is happening, and how to change the settings so it doesn't lock itself so quickly.</p>

+<p>If you leave for computer for a few minutes, the screen will automatically lock itself so you have to enter your password to start using it again. This is done for security reasons (so no-one can mess with your work if you leave the computer unattended), but it can be annoying if the screen locks itself too quickly.</p>
+
+<p>To wait for a longer period before automatically locking the screen:</p>
+
+<steps>
+ <item>
+ <p>Click your name on the top bar and click <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p>
+ </item>
+
+ <item>
+ <p>Open the <gui>Screen</gui> settings and change the <gui>Lock screen after</gui> option.</p>
+ </item>
+
+</steps>
+
+<note style="tip">
+ <p>If you don't ever want the screen to lock itself automatically, go to the <gui>Screen</gui> settings and switch <gui>Lock</gui> to <gui>OFF</gui>.</p>
