An Administrator account and a Guest account. There may also be a hidden Admin account with permissions beyond the local Admin, but that isn't typically an account a user will engage with or see.
ADMINISTRATOR and GUEST accounts, though the GUEST account is disabled by default in XP Home and XP Prof.
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.
Under guest account you cannot do much, and of course you cannot get administrator rights. But if it's your personal computer you can cancel a administrator password using a special cd, for instance, NT Cracker. After you cancel the password you will be able to log on under administrator account without a password.
Typically the administrator account only shows on the welcome screen when there is no other user defined. Once a new user is created, the administrator account becomes hidden, but still accessible. You're guest account should be able to be turned off, provided you have administrator rights.
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.
