    Is the name of the user account you want to add, delete, modify, or view. The name of the user account can have as many as 20 characters.
  • password
    Assigns or changes a password for the user's account. A password must satisfy the minimum length set with the/minpwlen option of the net accounts command. It can contain as many as 14 characters.
  • *
    Produces a prompt for the password. The password is not displayed when you type it at a password prompt.
  • /domain
    Performs the operation on the primary domain controller (PDC) of the current domain. This parameter applies only to computers running Windows NT Workstation that are members of a Windows NT Server domain. By default, Windows NT Server-based computers perform operations on the PDC.

    Adds a user account to the user accounts database.
  • /delete
    Removes a user account from the user accounts database.

Months can be a number, spelled out, or abbreviated with three letters. Year can be two or four numbers. Use slashes (/) with no spaces to separate parts of the date.
