Auto unlock/login

I enabled it so that it skips the lock screen and goes straight into the desktop environment.  The lock screen comes up, but even tho it requires a password, just by pressing any key it disappears and goes into the GUI.  I'm using Gnome.  I can't find on google/forums, how I was able to do that.  I wan't to turn it off so that I have to type my password during every boot/lock of the PC.

I can't figure it out anywhere how to change it back.  Much appreciated if someone can help.

Thanks

Re: Auto unlock/login

Assuming you are using GDM as a display manager you have to remove some lines in /etc/gdm/custom.conf

 /etc/gdm/custom.conf
# Enable automatic login for user
[daemon]
AutomaticLogin=username
AutomaticLoginEnable=True 

Delete these lines and GDM should ask for your password.
