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

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.

My username is 4 numbers. It won't let me log in saying I don't have enough characters. How can I log in or change my username so I can log in?

go into the log in page - hit "forgot user ID" - they will email you a new one or email you a link to pick a new one - use at least 8 characters. Then go back to log in enter & enter your new user name. Try your old password - if that doesn't work, hit "forgot password" & they'll let you reset.
