Which type of resources is it you want them to access? Some cannot be accessed by guests. Also - which version of Moodle do you have and what exactly is the message that requires them to input a username and password ( I mean - does it fill in the username with guest for example?)

Hello Mary,

The version is: 1.9.7+ (Build: 20091216) (2007101570).

The message is: Invalid login, please try again

It fills wiht Guest and after press Login as a Guest buttom, the message is the same.

I have created a course example to enable some guests to view, but they can not enter into the site.

Regarding.

Hi Ernani. I asked you the question because I have seen this problem recently (all guest settings are correct but when you try to login as guest the username box fills with guest but won't let you login) If you do a search on these forums there are some similar posts. One of them has a possible solution involving going into the database but it would be interesting to see if the versions with the problem are the same.

Hello Mary,

I have foud a message regarding the problem and I followed the istructions and now it is working.

I change the  password of guest user in the database to  "guest" (using MD5).

Thanks,
