Comment 19 for bug 882255

Stragely though, when I reboot my ubuntu and mosue-click some times out of my ubuntu and inside my VmWare player randomly some times, it allowed me in. and also on reboot, it works with an Enter
( i.e removing password effected ).

Also i tried to change password with passwd command giving the same string I had used earlier, as new password. Strangely, this fails saying "please enter a longer password". Then why was I allowed to be using a "shorter" password all these days ?

My config:
