How I tell cmd.exe that both words are a single user name?
the user name is two words (e.g. Engr. Saud)
Use double quotes " around the name.
To remove the password, use the following command:
net user "Engr. Saud" ""Notes:
- The
netcommand must be run from acmdshell that is "Run as Administrator".

You need to enclose the entire user name in quotes, or otherwise escape the space(s) between the words in the user name. Without doing either of these, the shell will treat a space as a parameter separator, not as part of the parameter.
