One of my user passwords is refusing to work - when you enter it the
screen just clears and is sat at the login again.. it doesn't report a
password failure and just sits there at the login.

I've tried changing the password in Yast and it has no effect. The root
login & password still work fine.

This version 11.1 BTW
