Hi sandi.. This is the way you can set a password for your accounts from the command prompt..



Open the command prompt.

Type run and press enter

there, you see the c:/> from where you can launch the commands..



now, type cd.. and enter

again type cd.. enter

now, type net user (net space user) and enter

there u see the user accounts being displayed

now, for example, there is a account wid name as sandi..

to set its password, you need to type the following way..



net user sandi password enter (where, password is the password you wish to set.)



to delete the password, type net user sandi * enter

now, it will ask for new password.. simly press enter twice

then, your password is deleted..



you can even set the password by typing net user sandi * enter.. by giving your password there..!!



This is the way you can get the things done from the command prompt.



Sandi, are you now satisfied..? Is the purpose of yours on Y! Answers fulfilled.??
