Have you tried
Menu -> All Settings -> (System) Users and Groups -> [your user] -> Change... (next to "Password")

Uncheck "Don't ask for password on login" and set your password.

        I made a mistake while installing 15.04 last month.

        When the install program asked me if I wanted a password
        challenge on boot, I checked "no" by accident.  Now I have a
        wide open laptop on boot, so that someone would have to merely
        reboot to have full access to my home directory.

        What do I do to change the system to require a password on boot?

    Check out /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/60-xubuntu.conf

    Then when you've done that - check out upgrading to 15.10 as soon
    as possible - 15.04 went end of life last week, the repos last for
    a while but will be turned off soon.

IIRC setting no password at install causes autologin, changing it from (System) Users and Groups just changes whether the password is asked for at the login screen- IF you see it.

OP needs to remove the autologin line to stop the behaviour he sees currently.
