how to change the password for user Yousaf Saleem Malik?

Found the answer
using double quotes around the username

Well done for finding the solution to this on your own.

Windows commands always require " to be wrapped around usernames, folder paths & filenames that contain spaces or ampersands [&].
Net User "Yousaf Saleem Malik"
Dir "C:\Program Files\Intel"
Dir "C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel*"

I always set single-word usernames to avoid such complications.

All the best,
Denis
