I am new with Ubuntu, and though I am liking it a lot I am making the typical mistakes (for what I have seen on the forum :-))

I took off the password for the admin account, not knowing that this would cost me being on the computer for a few hours figuring out how to put it back on (done).

However, I am no longer prompted to enter the password when I first log into the system, which I want to amend.

Does anyone know how to amend this from the Terminal?

Thanks to all Alex

From the Command Line

To activate the login-screen from the command line do the following:

sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Then paste or type this line in the file:

greeter-show-manual-login=true

This should allow you to use the login screen.

Be ware though, what you call admin user, is actually called root user in non-windows terminology.

With GUI

To do this without commandline: hit user in the HUB, then switch on enter image description hereauto-login.
