The Windows command line offers several options for your user accounts, including changing a user's password. The "net user" command allows you to change a user's password quickly without navigating to the user interface. Some administrators prefer this method because it's faster and more convenient than opening the graphical interface. If you have administrator privileges, you can use this command to change the information of any user on the network.
