Guest User password?

The Guest User account on our Mac has started requiring a password. I don't know when this started but I'm guessing that it was when we installed Catalina. I have no idea what password is required. When I go into Users & Groups (in System Preferences), I see nothing relating to a password for the Guest User account. Indeed, the text displayed in that pane, explicitly states (see the screenshot below):

Logging in to the guest account does not require a password.



Any ideas?


Thanks

Two approaches, neither of which seems hugely logical.


  • Boot into Safe Mode, and see if the problem persists
  • Disallow the guest user. Reboot. Re-allow guest user. See what happens
