Bug Description
14.09-proposed image #113
STEPS:
1. Ensure passphrase is set.
2. Lock device.
3. At locked greeter, attempt to unlock using incorrect passphrase 7 times until 'Device Locked' notice is displayed. This displays a 5 minute timeout before device can be unlocked again.
4. Reboot device straight away.
5. At locked greeter attempt to unlock device again.
EXPECTED:
The lock period should persist after reboot so it is not possible to unlock the device until the timeout period has expired.
ACTUAL:
The lock period is removed, so it is possible to unlock (or attempt to unlock) device immediately after reboot.

i suspect unity8 is simply reading this value, suppose it may not be persisting in the backend
