How do I enable/disable passwords when resuming from hibernate/standby?

A. In 'Q. How do I enable Hibernate on my machine?' we saw how to enable hibernate and said that by default upon restart you need to enter a password however this can be changed as follows:

  2. Select the Advanced tab
  3. Check/uncheck the 'Prompt for password when computer goes off standby'
