login PW never asked, why?
I dont know how iv managed it but my mint 17.1 never asks for my account PW , at boot it show the login screen but if i click on my account name it loads it straight up (no PW asked).
I want the PW requirement back. I have not got auto login set. I do have a user PW and iv tried changing it but still dont ask for PW at login. I cant find any setting in cinnamon for "remember login password" and iv checked the keyring and there is just a saved smb NAS password no user login. This should be easy to find, maybe im just loosing it. Cheers all. |
Have a look how to introduce a new user?
Then you should find where is the setup for the existing user. On Xubuntu, it is described https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Benutzer...ruppen_Xubuntu |

@ OP - try to get in Root account and get your account to heve to re-enter a new password. You may need to "expire" the old one...

let's see.... int the file /etc/mdm/mdm.conf, edit the following AutomaticLoginEnable - I suspect it's set to true... |
iv got 2 entries in there (greg being my account):-
AutomaticLoginEnable=false AutomaticLogin=greg |

already done, and didn't work :(
But its not an auto login as it shows the login display whereas auto login would just load my DE straight away |

maybe i have to have some of the screen saver setting switched to lock-up at some point (just grabbing straws now really)

Don't mean to belittle you, but you did reboot afterwards, just in case, right?:)
