Windows 10 bases its access on multiple users who in turn have different roles that allow or not to carry out tasks within the system such as installing or uninstalling programs, creating documents, editing system variables and more. One of these users is the Guest user which is used temporarily to provide access to someone and this user as such does not have special permissions in the system, one of the tasks that we can perform on this is to modify his password which It is possible to do it in different ways and TechnoWikis will explain each of them in detail..
Before, the Guest account used to be activated by default in Windows, but it ended up being deactivated for security reasons since otherwise anyone could access the computer without security. If you want to keep this Windows 10 Guest account, it is recommended to assign a password.
We also leave you the video tutorial to be able to change the Windows 10 Guest password..

Another of the methods available for this is directly at the CMD console or command prompt.
Step 1
For this, we access as administrators and execute each of the following commands:
net user (list users in Windows 10) net user Guest / active: yes (we activate the Guest user which by default is disabled) net user Guest pass77 (we assign the desired password to the Guest user)
Once we complete this, we can access or grant access to the system with the Guest user, remembering that the limitations of this are clear due to security and privacy issues.
Step 2
When you do not want to use the Guest user anymore, we can deactivate it with the command:
net user Guest / active: no
With these methods we have seen the way to set a password for the Guest user in Windows 10.
