Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:



sudo nano /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-ubuntu.conf


Add the following line, save and then close.



allow-guest=false


Reboot, and you're set.

Thanks to Gunnar Hjalmarsson



Based on Gunnar Hjalmarsson comment "ubuntu-session was last updated in the middle of March. Try sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-session" when that is done, the Guest session returns.



After some research, this can be done a different way as well.



Open /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file from your terminal using the following command:



sudo -H gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf


If the file exists, then just add the following line:



allow-guest=false


Otherwise copy and paste the following into it:



[SeatDefaults]
user-session=ubuntu
greeter-session=unity-greeter
allow-guest=false


Save the file and exit the editor. Reboot your system, and the changes will remain even after an update to ubuntu-session as mentioned by Gunnar Hjalmarsson's comment.
