You can revert back with the command

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm

from a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1) if you can't log in.

Or you can directly edit the /etc/X11/default-display-manager file:

Fri Apr 29 @14:26:00:~$ cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager 
/usr/sbin/gdm

Both solutions need a restart (of X, if not system) to take effect.
