How to change user accounts using MS DOS commands
Using MS DOS commands you can create new users account, delete them, change the passwords or add a new user to a group. You can even add or delete an administrator account using MS DOS commands.
The MS DOS commands are listed below:
net user – displaying all users accounts
net user HERE_THE_NAME /add – to add a new user
net user HERE_THE_NAME * – change / add a password
net user HERE_THE_NAME /delete – to delete an account
net localgroup – displaying the local groups
net localgroup power users – display all users belongs to this group
net localgroup power users HERE_THE_NAME /add – adding a user into the power users group

Every time when the command is ok after you press ENTER there will appear a new line telling you: “The command completed successfully”
Have fun! :)
