Unlock User Accounts in Gnome 3 Ubuntu 12

Question

My account is a member of the sudo group on the server, so it should have all privileges. However, when I go to 'System Settings > User Accounts' in Gnome the 'Unlock' button is disabled. What do I need to do to be able to unlock this?

I don't know if this is a bug or the default behavior, but you can try running it as root.

gksudo gnome-control-center user-accounts

I'm guessing it's a bug. Your solution works just fine. Thanks! – LoneWolfPR Feb 12 '13 at 19:31
