Title:
  An administrator user account became standard and we could not do
  anything but reinstall

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I suddenly found that sudo passwords are not being accepted, looking
  at user account revealed that the only admin account became the member
  of "standard" users, and  we could not even create a new user nor
  change any settings.
