Create another account with command prompt.

Question

Hello,

I am not able to get into my main windows account for some reason. I am trying to create a new account and the only way to do that is from the administrator account and settings but like I said I'm not able to get into my main account. I've tried to use the command prompt on the troubleshoot page. Running the command net user, etc. However I always get the error of "This account was created but not added." Is there any thing to add to this command or any where I could possibly add a guest account or something that I can do to be able to access my computer. Anything helps thank you.

Hello,

Please try below command to add the newly created account to admin group:

net user username password /add
net localgroup Administrators username /add

Replace username with the desired username for the new account and password with the password you want to set for the account.
