Public bug reported:

Creating a new user without login password makes the lock screen
(Ctrl+Alt+L) unlockable because it asks for a password and none works
(even blank).

Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 14.10 clean installs and fully updated.

In Ubuntu 14.10: Unity 7.3.1+14.10.20141016-0ubuntu1

Expected:
No password to unlock and unlock the screen.

What happens:
The lock screens request a password to the user without it and doesn't unlock the screen.

** Affects: unity (Ubuntu)
