Check the max account configured for the Guest user group if it has already reached the limit:

 

Alza-kvm47 # config user group
Alza-kvm47 (group) # edit "Visitors"
Alza-kvm47 (Visitors) # show
config user group
    edit "Visitors"
        set group-type guest
        set user-name enable
        set max-accounts 3 <----- The default value for max-account is 0.
    next
end
 
To fix this, set the number of guests allowed using the command 'max-accounts':
 
Alza-kvm47 (Visitors) # set max-accounts 
max-accounts    Enter an integer value from <0> to <1024>.
Alza-kvm47 (Visitors) # set max-accounts 1024 <--
Alza-kvm47 (Visitors) # end
Alza-kvm47 #
