Hi Sarah, Are you trying to do a remote login? Because users cannot log in to the guest account remotely. And did you go to System Preferences > Users & Groups to check that the box is still checked for "Allow guests to log in to this computer" when you select "Guest User" in the sidebar? Because you can set this up so that you have the box for "Allow guests to connect to shared folders" without checking the box for "Allow guests to log in to this computer".
