Okay, let's start now .... But first, please open CMD with Admin privileges first. Otherwise, it will not work.

#first. The command checks to see how many users are on Windows

At the CMD window enter the following command => and press Enter to execute the command.

net user

=> Now you can see a list of existing Windows Users. As shown in the picture below, there are 2 users Administrator and KIEN there.

// Note: After executing any of these commands, if the message appears, The command completed successfully That means you have successfully executed the command.

#2. Command to create a new User on Windows

With the creation of additional users, we have two options: create a user with a password, or create a user without a password.

+ Case 1: Create a new User without a login password.

You use the following command => and press Enter to perform:

net user KIEN / add

You can now check in section Manage Accounts, a new account has been created KIEN and that.

+ Case 2: Create a new User with login password. You use the following command => and press Enter is okay.

• Syntax: net user / add
• Applied to the example we have the command: net user KIEN 123456 / add

# 3. Add a password for User on Windows

Yes, in the case above I have just created a new User User and do not have a login password.

So now I want to add the password to the account just created, I will use the following command:

• Syntax: net user "Password"
• Applied to the example we have the command: net user KIEN 1234

# 4. Delete the password or replace the password for the User with the command in CMD

So, a question posed with the above case 2, that is now I want to change the password for the Windows User, what should I do?

You use the following command => and press Enter to perform:

• Syntax: net user *
• Applied to the example we have the command: net user KIEN *

Now enter the password you want to set into the section Type a password for the user, and retype the password into the line Retype the password...

// Note: Note that when you enter the password, you will not see it appear because to ensure security, but you just enter it, enter it correctly.

In case I want to remove the password of that User account, I will use the following command:

• Syntax: net user ""
• Applied to the example we have the command: net user KIEN ""

# 5. Add the User to the Administrator administrative group

In case you want to delegate this User is Administrator then run the following command:

• Syntax: net localgroup administrators / add
• Applied to the example we have the command: net localgroup administrators KIEN / add

# 6. Temporarily turn off the User account on Windows

• Syntax: net user / active: no
• Applied to the example we have the command: net user KIEN / active: no

In contrast, to reactivate the User, you use the following command:

net user KIEN / active: yes

# 7. Command to delete Local User account on Windows

If you do not want to use a particular User, and you want to delete them, do the following

• Syntax: net user / del

#8. Delete the entire command in the CMD window
