Are you sure it's not asking you to confirm the password for root before you can create a new account?

USERDEL "name" would be the usual way.

oops forgot about the case sensitivity, the caps was just to stress the cmd.
Its all lower-case, so
userdel "name"

If everything went fine it shouldnt give any output, thats correct. Check if the user really was deleted, e.g. try to delete it again, this should give an error then.
