I'm also in the same boat, trying to create another user. I just tried following this advice. But although it allowed me to change the UNIX password in the term, that had no effect on the user manager app. I was still unable to unlock the app so that I could edit users in it. What am I missing?

"sudo passwd" This will allow you to set the root password in the term.
