thx, i dont want set a default password, most users dont know how to change it. The solution was no password for the screensaver. Fixed in 0.6.0-RC2

I was trying out Gnoppix 0.5.5 the other night and out of routine, issued the command xscreensaver -lock. Attempting to unlock with an empty password proved to be impossible.

I was under the impression that the user "credativ" does in fact have an empty password, so this looks like a problem with xscreensaver -- I'm speculating that it simply ignores empty input.

Feel free to float this on upstream in that case.

Sorry for reporting against an older version. I'm afraid I don't have the resources to verify against the latest Gnoppix.
