Hi guys thanks a lot for the tip. I needed this so I don’t interrupt video processing when I leave my desk. Also the CTRL+SHIFT+EJECT seems to work great as well. Thanks!

This tip was very useful… can’t believe I didn’t search for the solution sooner. Thanks a lot for the tip.

how do you unlock a screen saver if the mac is not bringing up the password box to enter it?

I use an application called “Dockables” on my macs. I drag the application folder on to the dock and when opened with a click includes a number of often used functions including Lock Screen. Also has Log off, shut down, screen capture and more.

I always use this in combination with CTRL+SHIFT+EJECT. It will go into locked screensaver mode instantly.
