The 'Guest' account is usually used by temporary users.
When you use the Guest account to log on, the following activities apply:You do not require a password.You cannot install software or hardware.You cannot change the Guest account type.You cannot create a password for the account.You cannot change the Guest account picture.You cannot access the applications that have already been installed on the computer.You cannot access the files in the Shared Documents folder.You cannot access the files in the Guest profile.
To limit access and delete information after each use on the guest account, you must change the settings each time.
Guest accounts are used if you lend your computer/laptop to a friend. They can use the guest account to use the computer but they won't be able to change any settings or access any of your files. A guest account would also be useful for the workplace. If you have the guest account enabled for your work computer, and you're off sick for a day. The person that covers you can use the guest account on the computer.
The "Guest" account, when created by an administrator, does not have a password. If the administrator created a "User Account" called 'Guest' then the administrator may have given it a password. If you are an administrator of the Mac and you are having trouble with the guest account, delete it and restart. Then create a new 'Guest' account by selecting "Guest" in the control panel. The Guest account creates a temporary work area for a guest on the Mac, and deletes all the files created by the user when the Mac is shut down, or the user logs off.
There is no password for the guest account. The only customisation available for the guest account is turning it off or on.
The difference is a user account is for a certain person or a certain group but guest account is for anyone who uses that computer without a user account.

You can't. The guest account is designed as a temporary account. However, I doubt the account was crashing the laptop, try running it in safe mode on the account, or restoring it back a month or so
The files are only accessible to the owner/creator of the files, and you are on a guest account
