Public bug reported:
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.
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.
