Guest user account doesn't need a password.

System Preferences > Users & Groups

Click the lock to unlock it. Give administrator name and password.

Highlight the guest account.

Disable and then enable the guest account.

First, turn off Parental Controls, if applicable.

This issue is sometimes the result of transferring the Guest account from another system in Migration or Setup Assistant. See the discussions linked below.
