Q: i am locked out of guest user (only account on my Mac)
I recently purchased a late 2013 model macbook pro on eBay and the seller left me the password to the 'guest user'.
i changed the password to a blank password as i didn't want to have a password but i didn't create a new user account.
last night i clean installed OS X El Capitan, when the installation was complete i was asked for a password at the log in screen.
i managed to skip the password login but now i am trying to create a new password in system preferences, however i am unable to because i am required to use a password to enable changes.
Guest User is the only account on my Mac so i have no clue what to do to get out of this mess.
thank you in advance to anyone that can offer support.
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

When prompted to enter the password to enable changes, it doesn't work if you just leave it blank and press the return key?
