Bug description:
  The latest versions of the live CD now use a locked password.  If a user boots
  the live CD, does some work on the computer,  and then selects "Lock Screen"
  from the drop down menu, the screen will lock as expected.  However, when the
  user returns to the computer and attempts to access the locked ubuntu session
  the user is prompted for a password which cannot be supplied.
