guest account won't login

ok try this. From an admin account uncheck the option enabling Guest account in accounts system preferences and then enter the following command in terminal.

*sudo dscl . delete /users/Guest*

Please just copy and paste the above. That's very important. you don't want to delete a wrong thing here. You'll have to enter your admin password which you won't see (that's normal).

This command will delete the Guest user.

Now go to the accounts preferences and enable Guest. This should create Guest user afresh and hopefully resolve the password issue. Restart and try the guest user again. Double check and make sure that it's enabled.

I tested the procedure and it works on my computer.

try setting the "display login window" (it's in loging options in accounts sys prefs) to "List of users" instead of "name and password".

that was just a thought. If you use this option, do you see *Guest user* on the list of available users at the login window?

you are welcome! I'm glad it worked.
