[Bug 878997] [NEW] setting nopasswdlogin removes user password

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

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.
