(Get the code!)
Because of light locker being added to Xubuntu, it's now possible to bypass the screen lock.
light-locker creates a lockscreen on VT8 - however, we can switch back to the original VT using keyboard commands, meaning that we have full access to the user's desktop.
Steps:
Install Xubuntu
Create user with password
Login as that user
Lock screen (xflock4 or ctrl+alt+delete)
Hit Ctrl+alt+f7
Use the system without using a password to unlock.
