[Ubuntu] Maybe use OEM Setup for the way to re-add the User once it's reset? about resetter HOT 3 CLOSED

What do you mean by oem setup? Vanilla distros (which most people use) are not tied to any oems and if you want a configurable password, you just need to use the custom reset option which lets you put in your own user and password. Can you clarify?

@gaining There's an option in LiveCD to go OEM Setup, and that's basically Ubuntu, but with an OEM Setup Experience, which is basically the User Setup, Language, and Region steps of the Ubuntu Installer, but for the user to then do. It'd be nice if such a link into 'oem-setup-prepare' was made by this program, so that the user DOES NOT need to set a user before Wiping, and can, instead, wipe, reboot and give it to another person, and then they can just set it up, and give themselves a user...

Okay, I see. It's a generally interesting idea. The feature that you're talking about isn't really an oem setup but the installer system-configuration setup which asks for location, username/password etc. Now, I would definitely need to fork it up to do only some of the specific things that it does which requires a lot of time that I'm not willing to invest. If you find a way to patch it up let me know, but I'm not going that route because I believe my current method does the job just fine.
Also, if you're selling or giving a user a computer you could tell them what the default password is and tell them that they'll need to change it later. At least that's how my company does it when giving out new computers to employees.
