I'm not sure if this answers the original question, which I read to be "how
do you disable the lockout button?" instead of disabling the automatic lockup. 

perhaps we've missed something... but what prevents a random person from
walking by your desktop and clicking on the "lockup" button?  or worse, 
coming to your desktop, clicking on the settings, making a new password,
then hitting the "lockup" button _and_ then clicking "lock on startup"???
