    Execute 'sudo adduser or useradd' command.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    A good tool to know about is apropos. Apropos will list programs related to its argument.
    E.g.

    apropos user | less
    Will list all manual pages with the word user in them. Then you search for the word delete with /, and you see userdel.

    use sudo passwd <username>

    You won't need the old password set a new password(as far as I know), because you are root.
