I think this bug is not exactly the same than bug #907452, because in this
case, I am not changging the account type from Administrator to Normal.
This bug is regading the 'logging without password' feature, bug #907452 is
regarding 'deleting the unique Administrator' account.
Are you sure they are the same bug?

Title:
'User Accounts' can break the system administrator account
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
How to reproduce the bug:
1) Install Ubuntu 11.10 or 12.04 (development branch), and as normal, create
a administrator user during the installation.
2) Open Gnome Control Center (also called System Settings), and open User
Accounts module.
3) Pick the only existent user (the Administrator user created in the
installation), click on Unlock and enter the user password to can do
administrative tasks.
4) Click on 'password' to configure password stuff for the current selected
user.
5) On 'Action' list box, select 'Log in without a password' and click
'Change' to save the new configuration.
6) Log out (close user session) and Log in again, now you don't need to type
the user password to log in.
7) Now try to run some administrative task using sudo or pocicykit to
authenticate, they will ask you for your password but they won't accept your
old password and neither accept a blank (null) password. This happens also for
'User Accounts' module.
The result is: you cannot do administrative tasks now in Ubuntu.
