An account that enables a user to
gain very limited access to a computer. Although some computer Operating
Systems will have a default guest account setup after their
installation, many times this account will commonly have to be setup manually
by the administrator before it can be accessed.
Unless you plan on having unauthorized users on your computer or
network, it is recommended that the guest accounts be disabled on
the computer to help prevent potential security issues. This
account / username is commonly one of the first accounts a
potential hacker may try if he or she
is unable to gain access with a higher account.
