I have just installed Gallery2.
It has a default "guest" account.
What is the password for that account?

the guest account is the one used whenever you're not logged in. By definition, therefore, it doesn't have a password. It's also known as the "anonymous" user.

So I can't delete this account or force it to have a password, so by definition, anyone coming to my gallery URL will see the top level pictures/albums right?

(Sorry if these questions are a bit basic)

No you can't

No - no password

Incorrect. If you withdraw the permissions for the guest user then they can't see the root album contents, and anyone visiting the gallery front page gets a login screen.

Not a problem.
