 RW> Mike,

 RW> was entered then trying to logon with a blank password should fail.

The user management screen has a set of radio buttons for making the 
password optional or required.  It defaults to optional for the GUEST 
account.  It defaults to required for all new accounts.

I'm not sure if there are any command-line use management programs

Basically, one should leave the GUEST account as is, and create new ones 
for password-protected access to resources.
