Disable lock screen

[Anand_Swarup]

My laptop screen automatically gets locked within few minutes when not in use. Though I have set 'turn off screen' and 'go to sleep' both options as 'never' for both 'on battery power' and 'while plugged in'. I don't want my screen to get locked automatically. How do I do that? Please guide me.
