Guest User screen - forgot password

The Guest login as used and they forgot the password. When I start my Mac, the Guest User comes on, but there is no 'Forgot Password' option. The screen just has a Cancel button and a Guest button. How do I get back to the Administrator Login screen?

There is no password on the guest account - it wipes itself after closing: it's not intended for subsequent uses. If it's coming on when you boot up try loggin out - shift-command-Q. You should then get a screen offering logins to all existing accounts.
