Since I do not know anything about the original poster I might comment
that for a novice the reauthentication screen of xlock can look like a
login screen. It is good to review the screen saver optons for

Here is a one line command should tell us if the screensaver
is doing what we expect.
egrep "^mode|^lock|^dpmsEnabled" $HOME/.xscreensaver
