Hi,

useradd is a low lever utility. Is best for you to try adduser instead.

See

man useradd

Now do you have a problem about what ? You can use

userdel

and delete the user you created earlier

see

man userdel

for more info,
then create another one with the command

sudo adduser <name>

Where <name> replace it with a name of the new user.

Thank you

Can you help with this problem?
