Whenever I am logged in as a standard user, I cannot unlock my screen with my password. It gives me the wrong password error. But this is the same password I used to login and startx initially. Is there a seperate password file for unlocking the screen?
No, it should use the standard passwd/shadow suite, or PAM, if you use that. If your system uses PAM, is there a proper configuration for xscreensaver in /etc/pam.d?

It should use you user account password. Same as logging in to KDE to start with. Things to check: make sure you enter password corectly like make sure caps key is off.
You are not setup to auto login without a password are you?
If this is the case are you sure the password is correct?
Reset your password and see if that works.
