   Yesterday, we found out how to make another account without admin   
   rights. Today, I noticed under settings you can also make a guest   
   account.   
      
   So if we're going to do to help other people, the best way is to make an   
   account with root access, then make an account (with password) with no   
   root and the autologin with the latter?   
      
   How can I access the root account if I do this? Autologin and then   
   simply sign in with the root account?
