How to disable autologin on Administrator Account Ubuntu 12.10?

Asked by Pablo

I enabled autologin for the adminstrator account in Ubuntu 12.10. Now I want to disable autologin, so that it requests a password on login. In user accounts it shows it disabled, but it keeps logging in automatically. I ran sudo gpasswd -d myusername nopasswdlogin but that didn't help. What to do?

gksudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Comment out the lines:

autologin-user=<USERNAME>
autologin-user-timeout=0

Save the new file, close gedit and reboot.
