This seems to be a common response (basically, "you must be on drugs!").
Which is odd, considering I have *never* taken drugs; as I responded earlier: I don't need them; never did.

Hi All,
When my Win 8 box goes to screen saver and I go to get it back, I have do the log in with a pass word. I have fiddled around in the screen saver options and found several things it could be such as 'system protection' but that it is not alterable, not s major wine just something I wish I could cure... 
Sorry mind you wine might explain a few things about it.

Ok, this is so not what I was expecting to see when I read the title! You have an 'H' key. Please employ it and avoid (my) disappointment!

Ohh Blo*dy Hockysticks there isn't a click this and it will work as every other version of Windows, to get back you have to press a set key rather than just bash the key board??

Errrmm .... I was referring to your spelling of whine and the misleadingness of your title as a result!

I don't very often do it for the sake of it. It was the level of expectation raised by the mistake in this case! (Otherwise I'd have said something about Dalek not having an R in it, for example).

Do you explicitly need a screen saver? My 8.1 desktop goes directly to screen off and then recovers without needing a password; so I know that is doable (and was my out of the box configuration inherited from the win7 install I upgraded to 8.1).
Edit: I don't think I had to give a password the last time a greedy piece of software enabled its screensaver by default when I upgraded it; but that was a while back so I'm not certain any longer.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Press Win-X to bring up the "system menu"
Choose "Control Panel"
type "Saver" in the "Search Control Panel" box
Click "Change screen saver"
Clear checkbox labeled "On resume, display logon screen"
Press "OK" to save changes.
Note that this is no different than windows 7, windows vista, windows xp, etc...

The change screen saver option, On resume display logon screen, is what I wanted to changed, the option is greyed out. It's my own machine not connected to a network, I am using suitable permissions (I can create other users) just not alter the bleeding screen saver!
(Off point it is an HP machine bought in a rush as my previous desktop died, 8 installed up until then I always did the build it yourself route or Dell).

If you're attached to a domain, you may have a group security policy setting the screen saver logon setting and disabling the checkbox.
To change the group policy
WIN-X
click "Run"
enter gpedit.msc
navigate to User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel select Personalization
Try changing "Password protect screen saver" or "Prevent changing screen saver" or "Enable screen saver"
You may need to logon/logoff for the setting change to be realized.
If these options are not available, are reset or otherwise don't work, then try the following:
Try setting the registry value HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\ScreenSaverIsSecure DWORD to 0
If it gets reset then set the permissions for the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop and deny Full Control to the SYSTEM. And then set the above DWORD to 0 again.
You may need to logoff/logon to have the registry setting realized.
If none of this works, incinerate the computer and deposit the ashes into the nearest Iranian nuclear facility.

It seems to mostly lead to trouble. For example, the dreaded Greek question mark[^], incomprehensible symbols being used as identifiers, unrendered boxes all over the place, and sometimes it looks like an operator but it counts as a whitespace[^].
Perhaps worst of all, they can't be keyed in easily. No, I'm not going to memorize a list of alt codes. Copy paste works, but it's annoying, especially if there are several different characters in use.
To be more precise, I actually don't mean to ban unicode (makes a catchy title though), but "problematic characters". If it's not on US keyboard (not even US International, no diacritics and such), it can't be in the code. Except string constants, because you may need them.
"But what about my math symbols and Greek letters??" NO! it's not a paper written in LaTeX, it's plaintext.
