Same problem for me.

Lock screen works fine, but if I try to unlock after few minutes, I got the password prompt again.
I got access to my Ubuntu laptop (14.10) only forcing a power cycle, pressing the power button for 5 seconds.

Local user for me as well and it's probably hard to troubleshoot seen I cannot do anything but trying login.
FYI: If I put the wrong password, it recognizes the password is wrong.

If you need any further info from my side, please let me know.

Thanks

GF

Title:
  Can't unlock the screen in Ubuntu 14.10

Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The bug is similar to the one reported in 
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1314095 (Unity Lockscreen in 14.04 can't unlock when using LDAP account)

  The difference is that I don't have an LDAP account just a local one, the box was working well in 14.04 and after upgrade to 14.10 I can't unlock the screen.
  Changing /sbin/unix_chkpwd to setuid does the trick too.
