Can't login after using Ubuntu Tweak

I updated my system to Ubuntu 12.04. It was running great. I decide to download Ubuntu Tweak and do some housecleaning. After reboot when I try to login nothing happens except a "Logging in" message. This happens with all options including Gnome 3.4.

What should I do?

It happened to me too.
use gdm to replace lightdm

go to a text terminal using alt-ctrl-F1

Stop LightDM with sudo stop lightdm

Start GDM with sudo start gdm

Run sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm to set the default display manager for gdm

Edit /etc/X11/default-display-manager and set it to /usr/sbin/gdm if you can't run the above

Restart your computer and login.
