I am having the same problem.

I have 2 questions:
1. how do I use the system -> prefferences -> encryption and passwords applet to fix this? I cannot get it to let me do anything in there other than check a couple of checkboxes which don't seem to do anything.

2. How do I disable my autologin feature for my account?
