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.
