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 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297262 Title: OEM, on a normal Ubuntu installation, preserve the first user password for sudo -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
