How can I turn the "Lock" off on my computer?

Whenever the screen saver comes up and I try to get back on, when I move the mouse it says "locking computer". I don't know how this happened. So if you can help me I would be grateful. Thanks.

Update:

Thanks guys, it worked!

    Go into your screensaver preferences, change it from there, it should say 'On resume, display logon screen'.... uncheck it. and your good to go.

    if windows XP you can right click on desktop, go to properties, click on the screen saver tab and it allows you to change the time of when the screen saver starts and also allows you to display login screen when leaving screen saver mode.

    -uncheck the "on resume, display login screen"

    on vista its the same thing right click your desktop and go to personalize.

    Right click your desktop click properties go to screen saver tab and just disable screen saver. Its pointless to have one anyways.
