I'm a little confused here. Suspend and hibernation have nothing to do with
locking the workstation. Neither does that. Hibernation saves all the info
in memory to a file so that you can start up xp and programs faster. Suspend
usually powers down the hardware, drives, monitor to conserve energy.
To lock the machine:
1 - create a shortcut to lock machine
2 - hit windows key + L
3 - have your screen saver password protected
Sounds to me like you had the password on screen saver set, and coming out
of suspend is the same as coming out of a screen saver thus the locked
workstation message and password required to get back in.
To set the password on screen saver:
right click desktop, properties, screen saver tab, check the box: on resume
password protect or on resume display welcome screen.
