Windows 10: how to set windows 10 guest account without password

How do you set windows 10 "guest" account to not use a password? Have tried several suggested ways using microsofts usual options but they all seem to require that a password be set up. The guest account is for several people in the organization that do not have emails or a regular computer. I have set the computer up for an Admin and one other password protected account.


When setting up the "Guest" account the password option always appear and says there is an error when I leave the fields empty, not just blank. It will not let me proceed.


This option was available on our old Windows 7 and worked extremely well for us BUT where is it today?


One web suggestion was to go into the registery BUT I will never try that method!
