Windows 98 Screen Saver with NT password

Comment:
In my company I hava about 200 users using windows 98. They all log on their computers using a NT password, we work on NT 4 network. What I want to do is this: When a Screen Savers turns on it uses the NT password the user uses. For example after 10 minutes the Screen Saver turns on and when the user wants to deactivate it and type his password it has to be the same password he used when he logged on the computer. Please react on this matter!!

Screen Pass improves the security of networked computers, especially those located in non-secure areas. It can (1) require users to enter a network password to unlock Windows screensavers, (2) logoff idle workstations, and (3) unlock locked workstations using an administrator password -- without logging the user off and risking data loss. All settings can be configured and enforced centrally, and Screen Pass works with any Windows screensaver. Screen Pass verifies passwords on Novell Netware, Microsoft NT and Banyan Vines networks, and is available in French, German and Swedish. A separate version is available for NT workstations.
