You have set a blank password, therefore it is bypassed
right click a blank area of the screen
properties
screen saver
checkbox password protected
then there is a button labelled "change"
click the button and change the password away from blank

Can't get screen saver password protection to work. Check is applied to
"password protected" and a MS windows screen saver is selected...however
when
the screen saver starts and the mouse is moved there is no protection. The
screen saver closes and full access to the desktop is available. There
should
be a password required to close screeen saver.

What is the problem?
