I have a problem with the login manager of ubuntu 12.04, it does not have a selection to login another user; instead it only allows administrator and guest.
Can you help me with this problem?

i did not create another user, the problem was there was no way to login another user because in the login only Administrator and Guest are in the selection there was no selection for another user so there was no way to login the root account – Janyloser May 22 '12 at 06:49

Can you login using the virtual terminal(Ctrl+Alt+F1)? It is text-only. – nanofarad Jun 14 '12 at 20:06

Do you mean the 'Other' option to log in an unlisted user? Check this link: http://askubuntu.com/questions/128280/ubuntu-12-04-login-screen-with-ldap-users-no-other – Mark Paskal Aug 22 '12 at 10:13

Which architecture do you run Ubuntu on? This looks also like the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/952909?comments=all which affects accountsservice on some architectures like ARM (e.g., on Toshiba AC100) or PPC. It has already been fixed in the original Debian packages, but not yet in Ubuntu's packages AFAIK.
If that's the case, read also User Accounts not listed in System Settings User Accounts, a question where the architecture has been explicitly stated.
