How can I add a user or change my password - IBM ThinkPad T20 2647 Notebook

you didn't say what computer you are using, but unless you remember the password, and you have only the one account or user, you cannot add a new user. If you have access to the Administrator account, you can change the password.

Follow the steps:

To create a new user :
Net user username/add
Windows XP/2003, Vista and Windows 7.
To add a new user account to the local computer from command line:

net user username password /ADD

Example: To add a new user account with the loginid John and with password fadf24as

net user John fadf24as /ADD

To add a new user account to the domain:

>net user username password /ADD /DOMAIN

Note that we do not need to specify the domain name here.
Example:

net user John fadf24as /ADD /DOMAIN

Rename a user account from windows command line
We can use below wmic command to rename a user account from command line.

wmic useraccount where "name='username' " rename new_username

Ex: To rename the user account techblogger as win7techblogger

wmic useraccount where "name='techblogger' " rename win7techblogger

Net use command does not have any switches to rename a user account.
Few more Advanced uses of net user command.
To specify user full name while creating the user account

net user username userpasswd /ADD /FULLNAME:"User_Fullname"

To specify that the user is allowed to change the password

net user username userpasswd /ADD /PASSWORDCHG:Yes

To restrict user not to change the password:

net user username userpasswd /ADD /PASSWORDCHG:NO

To specify when the account expires we can use /EXPIRES switch.
To specify if the user must have a password set we can use /PASSWORDREQ switch.
How to create a new administrator account from command line?
An administrator account can't be created directly from command line. We first need to create a user account and then add the user to the administrators group.
Errors:
If you don't have privileges to add new user account to the system, you would get an error like below.C:\>net user John /add
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.

goto control panel click it,.... goto Add or Remove user Accounts click it,...

drop down appears, asks for permission to continue or tells you you are not high enough on food chain --I have a vista operating program- ask for adminstrators password...

click... goto main User Accounts Page
click...change password

use a password that has at least six symbols,,,a capital letter,,,,some lower case letters,,some numbers,, adds up to six symbols ... ex.. Job226

Elevate a secondary account outside of the admin account to admin status, then login as it and change your admin password. If you don't have a secondary user account, you can create one (and elevate it to admin status) by running the following from the command line:

net user "useraccount" "password" /add
net localgroup administrators "your pc's name"\"useraccount" /add

Of course, remove the quotations and insert the user account name, your pc's name, and the password where those words show up. That should allow you to get into Windows with admin privelages and change the administrator password. I do it through the "manage" function by right clicking on My Computer. Then go to Local Users and Groups, fo to the users folder, right click on your administrator account and hit "Set password". Hope this helps!

just type this no # 192.168.1.1 to internet explorer box and see the message box to type user and password this user name: user password: user or user name: admin password: admin Here in it you will find the option you need to change all need to change.good luck!
