    My password broke until I power rest the computer

    I was playing Transport Fever via Steam for Linux. I shift + tab to use the Steam overlay. I began using the overlay and after a few minutes the entire desktop froze. I used CTRL+alt+delete, to re log, but my password did not work. I tried several times in case I held the shift key down to long or some thing. I then tried logging into a console, but still the password did not work. I tried running the shutdown option from the KDE menu. When I brought the system up the password still did not work. I then tried holding the power button in figuring the improper shut down would cause the system to have to clean and reset stuff. Guess what?...

    The password now works again! I figured this would be a good thing to report since there is already a bug about passwords not working.

    Just to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.
