Thanks for the info Loye Young.

Some additional information:

The password for the oem account should be the same as the username,
oem.

I think you also need to run these commands:

You might have to remove the old users files
#rm -r /home/olduser

Add the oem user to the sudoers list.
# adduser oem sudo

Activate the oem-config next reboot
# oem-config-prepare

Then you might need to update the grub config to reset the timeout on the grub 
menu.
# update-grub

Before you reboot.
# reboot now

In case you accidentally happen to log into the oem account and set a keyring 
password (for instance by logging onto a wireless network), you should delete 
it like this:
# rm -r /home/oem/.gnome2/keyrings
