Bug Description

I have 2 users installed:

A | Systemmanager | Login with password
B | Standard | Login without password

sudo passwd -Sa :
a P 08/25/2014 0 99999 7 -1
b NP 08/25/2014 0 99999 7 -1

If running under user B after some time the system automatically suspends to Standby, and is waked up later, at the normal login screen the login without password is no more possible, I get in red letters: wrong password.
Only change to another user and then logoff helps to again get to a normal working login screen.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Added tag dataloss.
If user had some open documents and is not able to login after automatic screen-lock/standby, his data is lost forever, when user without administrator knowledge only is able to shut down his PC.
