Title:
  Impossible to unlock lock screen for user without password

Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  One of the options in Ubuntu when creating a user is to give that user
  no password. On the login screen, one simply clicks a button to log
  such a user in. On the lock screen, however, one is required to enter
  a password. Entering no password doesn't work, and entering a random
  password doesn't work. The user without a password is stuck on the
  lock screen forever.

  I was able to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS. It's a
  fairly serious issue since the default system behavior is to
  automatically lock after a few minutes.

  An emergency workaround is to click the Change User button to return
  to the main login screen, and then proceed from there.
