IIRC the guest account is featured for logging in by the display manager
and doesn't require a password at all, so you just need to push enter,
IOW it might be that you cannot login via Ctrl+Alt+Fn (ttyn) or it
doesn't require a password either.

I'm not willing to do your homework.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PasswordlessGuestAccount isn't clear
about this, my understanding of this Wiki is, that it should work for
Ctrl+Alt+Fn (ttyn), too, however, it contains a pointer to the PAM
config, so it might be helpful to google a clear answer.
