i don't really understand this, esp. the last bit.
where and how did you try to set "Don't ask for User Password"?
and what error are you getting?
surely not this: literally?

on a wild guess, i'd say this setting only applies to the login manager, and you still need to provide your password to change that.
also you will never be able to use linux without a password. it's a feature, not a bug.
