Bug Description
When user wants to setup login without password, user adds to nopasswdlogin group (it is fine), but actual password is removed as well. This makes impossible using the sudo or gksudo command if user was in adm group.
Workaround is booting in recovery mode and manual setting password to the user.

Thank you for your bug report, is that specific to lightdm or is gdm having the same issue?
