I think /etc/pam.d/login-local should also be affected by the change as well, 
we should make the change system-wise not only KDE-wise, i'll paste here the 
relevant part:

# For default Single User Mode, we do NOT want the following line.
# Enable this for Family Mode, however.
auth       requisite    pam_unix.so likeauth nullok

 I don't get at all the last sentence, why that user should be an admin? Maybe 
that part could be removed, it will make the text simpler.
