As you've probably already done, uncheck:
"lock screen when screen saver is activated"
in the System->Preferences->Screen Saver menu.
Type gconf-editor in a terminal. Under apps/gnome-power-manager/locks check:
"use_screensaver_settings".
If still asked for password, you can (also in gconf-editor) go to desktop/gnome/lockdown and check:
"disable_lock_screen"

First try the Lock/Unlock button in System Settings -> Personal -> Screen (suggested by brallan, below).
If this doesn't work, try the command
Code:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen 'true'

This is the file that needs to be edited:

/etc/gdm3/daemon.conf

In that file you should see this:

# AutomaticLoginEnabled = true
# AutomaticLogin = user

Just remove the hashtags from the beginning of those two lines to uncomment them.

  AutomaticLoginEnable = true
  AutomaticLogin = user1

Yup, then change "user1" to be the username of the user you want to be automatically logged in.

From what I can tell, yes it worked. That's both the no sleep and no login password required.
