    You need to set a password for the account. You can either use the 'Login Options' section under the System Settings --> User Accounts GUI tool, or use the passwd command

    For your own account
    Code:
    passwd
    For somebody else's account (assuming your account is a member of sudo)
    Code:
    sudo passwd username

    System Settings>User Accounts> pressing "Unlock" but is not responding as all other "Unlock"s in this laptop right now nor the terminal commands change anything, they change the password in terminal but still the same exat above mentioned drama

    I found this answer by Arthur Tan :
    Run the following command in terminal:
    Code:
    sudo gpasswd -d username nopasswdlogin
    substitute your username for username.


    It solved my problem Here
