[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1754019, member: 204485"] It is a default display with macOS sierra to display the users icons including the Guest User. The Guest User is a special login you can offer friends or family to use which prevents them from accessing your files or making any changes to the System. It does not require a password. When they log out or shut down or you change the user back to yourself everything they did is erased. So, it is a temporary access for people to check their email or whatever without threatening your privacy/security or settings. Having said that, are you saying that when you click on your User Icon you cannot login? When you click your user name you should be presented with a dialogue box to enter your admin password. Have you upgraded your Operating System or changed any login preferences or downloaded anything suspect like MacKeeper? [/QUOTE]
