Assuming you are talking about the screen locking when you leave it for a while what you need to change is your screensaver settings.
So System - Preferences - Screensaver.
Then untick "Lock screen when screensaver is active" to stop the need for a password
or untick "Activate screensaver when computer is idle" to stop the computer going into screensaver mode
or increase the value of "Regard the computer as idle after" to make it take longer to go into screensaver.
