I am the only user on my PC and do not want to enter my password. How do I disable? I do not want to enter a password every time my screen saver starts or I install any aps.

You can disable the password lock from the screen saver by opening a terminal and running gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled false.

Open the terminal window by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T and run the command:

sudo visudo

Find the line that says:

%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

And change it to:

%admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Save and exit the file

I must warn you though that disabling all security prompts could pose a major security risk and is extremely inadvisable.
