Did you try the suggestions I already gave? Ctrl-alt-f2 or ssh?
What happened?

Sorry, I forgot to tell you that I tried to use ctrl-alt-f4 but I didn't know what the name of the guest session was. I am not trying to log into the guest account, but rather the temp guest session. I would also have to do some basic learning as to how to use the ssh commands.

I actually ran out of time, and so cheated and just re-installed the whole OS. At any rate, I figured that would probably take care of any monkey business that someone might have installed on the machine. But I clearly still have a lot of learning to do. Thanks for your efforts in trying to help me!
