The login icons default does not contain any icons. Preferences\Users & Groups\Passwords does therefore not have the option anymore to change the login icon.
How to recover the default icons ?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Go to Macintoch HD/Library/user Pictures.
Are there any icons folders? If not, enter TM while you are there and restore them.

I found the icons folder. Thank you insofar ! Please guide me how to proceed, because I don't know how to follow your instruction: "enter TM (?) ... and restore them". Do you mean to drag the icons into the ...\Password\Recents folder ? There is no way to recover the icons within the \Password\Defaults folder ? Anyway, I am quite happy with the present solution !
While you're in Finder on the folder /user pictures, click the time machine in menubar, select enter time-machine.
It should take you to the same folder /user pictures, go back in time few days and select restore at the bottom right of you screen.
I hope this clear enough.
the default icons disappeared! How to recover them ?
