I have just installed Ubuntu, and set a password while installing which it was 1234 , and then after I was done installing I wanted to change it, but when I went to the user account and unlocked it, and then typed the current password and new password, I wasn't able to click on the change button.

I tried the command passwd {user} and it worked, now when I try to use sudo command or install any software, I use the new password, but the problem is that I can't log out of the account or lock the screen any more. Also when I boot my device and try to access my user, the computer doesn't ask for a password, I just see a button that says login without asking for any password. Please help.

Go back to user accounts

Then select your user and double click.

click Unlock in the upper right hand corner. (should work now that you set password from terminal) enter new password.

On same screen make sure "Automatic Login" is turned off for your account.
