To disable a user from logging into system, we can disable the account by opening computer management console and double clicking on the entry for the user and then by selecting the check button “Account is disabled”
We can do the same by just running a simple command from windows command line.
For example, to disable a user account named John we can run the below command.
Net user John /active:no
To re-enable the account :
Net user John /active:yes
In Windows 7, you need to run the above commands from elevated administrator command prompt(See How to open elevated command prompt in Windows 7 ). You would get the below error when you run them from normal command prompt.
System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied.
