Trying to create a password with spaces via command prompt

[kapura]

I found the syntax to change a user password through command prompt. I am using:
net user username password

I have sucessfully changed the password to a regular password. I can not figure out how to change it to a pass-sentence. How would I write the syntax for a password with spaces in it?
For instance, please explain how I would write "My new password." in cmd...because this doesnt work:
net user testuser2 My new password.

I am sure that it is case sensative, no? If its case sensative for the password, why wont it recognise the sapces as part of the password?

Thank you for your time.

Try enclosing the password in double quotes.

net user testuser2 "My new password"

Also, yes, passwords are case-sensitive. But case sensitivity has nothing to do with spaces.

Thank you so much...I'm still such a newbie, so it would have never crossed my mind to use quotations!!

The funny part is, this is a case of the computer imitating the way people "normally" do it. Notice how you wrote it with double quotes in the original question? :-)

It's always the little simple things that trip people up.

Yes, someone pointed that out to me on another site in a way that wasn't nearly as kind...
Ive been testing out a few forums to find which has users on at all times willing to help, so I posted that question on like 4 sites. So- I've gotten four sites worth of people telling me what a twat I am that my answer was in my question!!! ;P
Thanks for the help, and for not being a holes!!

Yeah, it's the people and their attitude that make a world of difference, not only the information. Glad we could help, on both counts. :-)
