How to increase the idle time that causes auto-lock to log in screen?

Question

At the moment I got Ubuntu on my VirtualBox and it seems to auto-lock very quickly. Everytime I switch to VirtualBox to use it, I always have to enter password.

How can I increase the auto-lock period, says to 8 hours :D ?

^Edit In Ocelot 11.10 just hit screen from dash box to see the screen-lock application.

I don't know how to do that in Natty 11.04

Go to System Settings and select screen. Or type in screen in Unity Dash.

You'll get the following screen.

Set the time you want to set or switch it off :)

I found it myself by getting Ubuntu Unity dash box so as I can search & run the application from its keyword; via installing Unity-2D for my Natty 11.04 virtual machine (the Unity-3D doesn't work for me).

How do I install and switch to the Unity 2D desktop?

To find the screen settings window as shown in the picture above click on the 'Applications' tab located on the top left corner of your screen (I am using Gnome).

Then System Tools --> System Settings --> Brightness & Lock.
