** Description changed: One of the options in Ubuntu when creating a user is to give that user no password. On the login screen, one simply clicks a button to log such a user in. On the lock screen, however, one is required to enter a password. Entering no password doesn't work, and entering a random password doesn't work. The user without a password is stuck on the lock - screen. + screen forever. I was able to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS. It's a fairly serious issue since the default system behavior is to automatically lock after a few minutes. An emergency workaround is to click the Change User button to return to the main login screen, and then proceed from there.
