The user name could not be found - Annuit Coeptis - 07-11-2011
I have been having trouble with my command prompt finding my user account.
When I type the net user command into cmd I can see my username in the list of local users but when I try to view the detailed information for my account using:
Code:
net user (my user name)Code:
The user name could not be found.Why can't cmd find my username when I can see it clearly in the net user list? Any ideas for a fix?
This is what I am doing:

You need administrator rights, launch CMD as admin.

Thanks for replying, but I did that and I got the same results.

Could it be your username has been changed?
If it has, you could try the very first name you had for the user.

What is your user account name? I can't see anything in that gyazo image you posted, the image is down or something.
You don't happen to have spaces in your username do you?

I reposted the image. It has to link to the image because gyazo won't let me post direct links to images. My username does have one space in it. Is that the problem?

Yeah, that's the problem. I've seen issues with that before, but I don't use a space on my computer.
Try doing something like
Code:
Net USER "word1 word2"Just put your username in quotes. Then it should interpret everything all together as one input and not 2.
Enjoy

Hey! It worked! The space was the problem. Thanks a lot! Now I know that you cannot use spaces when looking up user names with that command.
