Hi all!

I want to know how can i disable my "autologin" chosen option during installation to "ask passwd" before session?
I went to definitions of system > users and groups > passwd: ask when initiate session. It is ok. But i created another more 2 users, and i want mine as "administrator". So when i reboot, despite it is marked the option "ask password" still continues to autologin to my session...
Any ideas how to solve it?
Thanks in advance!

According to its documentation, GDM can be configured through a file /etc/gdm/custom.conf. You need administrator's permissions to create or edit this file (here with GEdit):
$ gksu gedit /etc/gdm/custom.conf

You want the file to contain that:
[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=false
