    Aspire 2920 return from hibernate

    I use my 2920 on a small network with a server, which forces me to log on with a username and password.

    Sometimes when working on something complex, I hibernate instead of shutting down fully.

    This works fine except that when I restart, I have to sit watching the machine because, if the username and password is not entered during a very short period of time during the return from hibernate, the screen goes blank and I have to restart again. This means that I am forever missing the restart password "window" as calls come in, I go to make a cup of tea etc etc.

    Is there somewhere I can set the time of the password entry display to longer?
