Is it normal for computer to go back to sleep after it woke up from sleep and the lockup screen prompting to enter user password is displayed? I have a program set to record a show in the morning at 5 am (Audiohijack) and the computer wakes up for that. But then it goes back to sleep after exactly 30 sec. Is this natural? Because it does wake up and if I don't touch a key or enter the password it goes right back to sleep. As a result, my show never gets recorded. Therefore, I have to leave the computer on all night just for that show to record. Any help is appreciated.

P.S. I don't think AudioHijack is the problem since this can be duplicated just by sleeping the Powerbook and then waking it up from sleep with a mouse click or key and then not doing anything after being prompted to enter password

Update:

This behavior only occurs when I have Require Password on WakeUp or Screensaaver checked under Security in Sys Prefs

If you haven't already... deselect that option to require password in the morning when you're asleep.. I have not answer to WHY it does it just that is seems like the logical thing to do is to deselect that option --- you're asleep i presume so you can't type in a password anyway.

Have I TOTALLY misunderstood your post ?

Well, that WOULD be a logical option except I would have to always select and deselect it unless I use a MACRO or a script or something. The thing is I like that option since I leave my computer on and leave it -- I don't want other people to look at my stuff. Am I making myself clear?

yes you are... i get the idea now I have no solution at hand.
