Step 1 is Screensaver installed?
The password when resuming from suspend is based on lock screen screen and lock screen is based upon screen saver. To check screen saver use apt list --installed | grep saver:
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.
gnome-screensaver/xenial,now 3.6.1-7ubuntu4 amd64 [installed]
If you don’t see a screen saver above then use:
sudo apt install gnome-screensaver
Step 2 is lock screen enabled?
Lock screen needs to be enabled:
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen
false
If result is true then use:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen false
