Ubuntu 18.04 lock screen no password

Question

I just installed Ubuntu on my media computer. I would like to be able to login from suspend without writing in the password. Found this thread: Disable password request from from suspend - 18.04 Somebody already commented on the solution that it didn't work for him/her. I have the same thing. I found another solution of just disabling the lock screen all together. That would be fine by me, but it also doesn't allow me to suspend the computer anymore, and as it is in my bedroom, I would like to be able to suspend it manually instead of waiting 15 minutes until it can autosuspend. Any ideas of what I can do?

Greetings, Jonathan

You can turn the suspend lock off by:
