I'm pretty sure this is a bug in gnome-control-center.  I'm pretty sure
that is where most users configure the 'nopasswdlogin' membership (via
the 'Login without a password' setting under 'User Management')

** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 882255
   No administrative actions possible (password refused) after enabling passwordless login

Title:
  setting nopasswdlogin removes user password

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When user wants to setup login without password, user adds to
  nopasswdlogin group (it is fine), but actual password is removed as
  well. This makes impossible using the sudo or gksudo command if user
  was in adm group.

  Workaround is booting in recovery mode and manual setting password to
  the user.
