One of the functions of my app includes the scheduling of events

However if the user has the screensaver/wake password security

my app can't get past it to do what it has to do. Is there a way to
authenticate via my app so that prompt does not appear?
Does anyone have any ideas for a solution?
Many thanks,

I'm surprised that your app can't continue running whilst the prompt
is there. I'm pretty sure other parts of the system will continue
running.
I don't think you should be trying to get rid of the prompt since
it's there to protect the user when they leave the machine. I would
have thought the best thing to do is to find a way of running code
whilst the prompt is still visible, but then I don't know exactly
what your app. is trying to do.
