>>What you expected to happen
Changing my own user profile to not require a password on log in, should completely remove the existing password..
>>What happened instead
I have changed my own user profile to not require a password and log me in automatically. What happened is, once I'm logged in, I find my password is not accepted when I'm trying to install an application or make changes to user accounts.
This bug is also mentioned in this question of askubuntu: http://
I've proposed there a solution, which worked for me, but I believe that it is important to report this question as bug to launchpad.
