Best Answer

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.

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.
