>From basics, as root ...
useradd Archana
then to test it as root try
su - Archana
and you should get in. If you try it from another virtual terminal, or
from a non privileged user account you'll need a password. so (as root):
passwd Archana
then supply the passwords as prompted.
When you've had enough you get rid of the user with:
userdel Archana
Hope this is some help,
Dan.
