Ubuntu – Password field of login screen is disabled

keyboardloginpasswordunity

I'm using ubuntu 14.04, here in the 'login screen' the password field is disabled, this issue also occurs sometimes during 'lock screen'. I don't want to remove password from my account nor do i want auto login. My account is with administrator privileges.

Going to terminal using Control + Alt + F1, then back to GUI with Control + Alt + F7, doesn't enables the password field.
