Password now required at login - help me to remove the need

[jollyjack]

In a moment of madness, I installed PYSDM (I was having trouble with accessing new partitions, please see other posting). It came with a lot of other stuff, including GNOME keyring or similar (I only caught a glimpse). I deleted PYSDM, as it didn't help.

However, when I log-in noe, it still asks me for a password, as follows

"Enter your administrative password" with the information "system-config-samba lets you configure....)

I've also deleted "system-config-samba" - that didn't help either.

Can someone help me remove this demand?

In system settings there is an option to start an empty session rather then (the default of) restoring the last session.

Sorry, james147, but this is all new to me. Can you point me towards this setting?

Thanks

I believe james147 is refering to this:

Click on System Settings. Under System Administration click on Startup and shutdown.
When the window opens click on Session Management. Under the On Login section where your choices are Restore previous session, Restore manually saved session, and Start with an empty session, Click on Start with an empty session.

Click on apply at the bottom, and reboot. Hope that helps.

Sorry if I seem stupid. What I did was to de-install PSYDM (and another, can't remember what) as installing it caused the problem in the first place. This didn't help, so I laboriously de-installed all the other programs that PSYDM brought with it as pre-reqs. That seems to have done the trick.

Thanks for all your helpful suggestions
