    Hi Suzy,

     

    To get rid of the guest user simply open spotlight and type "users and groups" after that opens up you will be taken to a window that will show your Current account and below it your guest user. To edit the users click on the lock if it is locked and type the admin password to unlock it. Then click on the guest user and you will see a check box with dialog after it saying "allow guests to log in to this computer." All you need to do is uncheck that box and you should be good to go. I hope this helps.

    I just found this with a Google search after all of a sudden my MacBook Pro decided to display the Guest login option for no apparent reason. This answer fixed it for me so thanks
