Bug Description
The password that gets set with the "users and groups" utility (from the System menu) will not be the password you
expect. It does not match the one you've typed into!
Result: unknown password!
Don't try reproducing this with an account you need to login with again!
You can change the password fine with the KDE utility or "passwd".
To post a comment you must log in.
When you experience this problem you should use the "recovery boot" option, with which you'll be able to reset your password by typing
'passwd <username>'.
(sorry <tremblay>, you've left #ubuntu to early).
