In that case. When the PC wakes up, and you are at the lock screen. there is no way to by-pass it and login.

This excludes any potential newly discovered/exploited security issues that the OS may have.

 

Inserting a USB key or anything, will not help. The only way is to have the password, which can be acquired via a USB keylogger that plug between your keyboard and PC, and somehow, analyze the collected data of what is a password for the login screen, and not anything else (keys that you press in a game, for example).

File level encryption would even make it harder unless the PC is infected with malware that captures keystrokes ?

That's what I was thinking. At that point it sounds like it would have to be internally system OS based at that point.
