I followed an earlier work around suggested somewhere that involved editing /etc/shadow. Do I need to revert that change before applying the steps mentioned here?

Thanks again for the update on this issue.

/etc/shadow stores your passwords for root or users locally. If you did any changes to /etc/shadow I recommend you to revert.

I think this is exactly the same issue as I have already reported here:

Should I have created that as common issue right away?

It’s good to file a bug report, and you can propose an issue like this one as a common issue, or ideally document it yourself in Common Issues > Proposed Common Issues , yes. Especially if it has a high impact, or affects a large number of users.
