Hi, I don't believe that there is a keyboard command for this but you could go into the Users & Groups pane of the System Prefs, unlock it with your Admin password, then from the Users, Groups and Login Options List, choose Login Options. Navigate down to the Fast User Switching checkbox and check it then choose Full name from the pop-up menu.
Now you can press VO-m-m to go to the Status menus, activate the Fast User menu and choose Login Window. This will essentially bring up the login screen but and others will need to enter your password to get past this screen. Alternatively, in the System Prefs, choose the Security & Privacy pane, then select the General tab and check the box for requiring a password after Sleep or Screen Saver. In this method, if you have a laptop, just close the lid and when it is re-opened, it will require a password to login or press ctrl-eject to bring up the Sleep, Restart, Shutdown dialog then just press "s" to Sleep the machine. Because you have this set, it will lock your machine and require a password to get back in. HTH. Later...
